“Pop-ups on this site beat my blocker every time I come here. Is this the rent we pay, or is it just me?” 8:49:52 AM 10/25/06 “no pop-ups on TT, only the occasional pop-under and frankly i can't recall the last time i saw one of those. if you are getting pop-ups i would get ad-aware and scan your pc for adware.” 8:51:17 AM 10/25/06 “Same here, I haven't gotten a pop-up from TT in months.” 8:56:52 AM 10/25/06 “I agree with Jimmy san, you have adware on your computer. Article about it below, and the 2nd link is a list of scanners you can use (go about half-way down for the list). http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/expert/honeycutt_spyware.mspx http://www.firewallguide.com/spyware.htm” 10:32:36 AM 10/25/06 “I pretty much have a no-popup policy. I use to have pop-unders on other pages in the site, but I took those down months ago.” 11:39:25 AM 10/25/06 “It's likely that you've got some spyware going, but use Firefox to beat more of the exploits,, I can't wait for 2.0 to be finished.” 11:54:06 AM 10/25/06 “Firefox 2.0 is finished. It came out yesterday.” 12:52:34 PM 10/25/06 “It's looking like Ad-aware took care of it. Thanks guys! When I bought my computer a guy talked me into buying Trend Micro PC-cillin - what crap that is. It downloads about 1MB of stuff to my computer everyday and it's so user-unfriendly you can't delete any of the bad stuff it finds.” 5:31:12 AM 10/26/06 “I was starting to have trouble again but firefox ad-on adblock plus took care of it for me. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/” 4:49:16 PM 10/30/06 “Gotta stop clicking on all those porn sites, bear!” 7:33:17 AM 10/31/06
