As you can see, I am logged in. I can provide the full screenshot if you want, but Guru was the only site I had open. It didn't 'pop up' as such, but instead loaded with the page. I was able to close it like a regular Windows alert box.

Yes, I have been discussing this with our staff. It's for IE only users it seems like. Definitely need to get this removed.

Ouch. GoogleAdServices need to sort out their crap, IMHO. Guru needs ads, but not this sort of thing.

What happens if you click OK?

I didn't want to try.

I pressed the 'X' and it closed like a normal Windows info box.

Tried looking through the forum on IE, but all I got were popups, banners, in-thread ads, and an interstitial. I wasn't logged in though.

Has anyone managed to get this ad while not logged in, such as surfing at work?

This is the first time I'd got it while logged in throughout the past 3 days, and I've been fairly active.
At school today I got regular pop ups but didn't see this.

I'll see if I can (remember to) get a screenshot of the two together if it happens again.

Here's a link to the whole screen shot.. so you can see the other ads on the page.

Just as Tatile said, the Poker ad is there. Maybe we have our answer.

Just got the dialogue pop-up window thingy too. For Party Poker. Am on Safari (latest version) for Mac OS X if that's any use. (I noticed there was talk of it only being in IE which I'm not using, which is why I mention it ^_^)
