"Pop-Ups"

I have more than 2 pop up blockers running at all times. I have my machine in pristine form, and there are no spywares, adwares, or anythign else I deem needless on this machine.

Therefore, I am confused that everytime I click a link on the forums area, my browser is blocking at LEAST 2 pop-ups. Every single time.

I can see the ads on the pages just fine, most of the time, but lately they say "action canceled" where an ad should be.

Anyway, I wish someone would explain this pop-up thing. It started literally right now for the first time on my machine, and never happens elsewhere.

I have just had the same issue, starting last night. Popups for "ads1.revenue.net" and another 'service.' The popups come when I click anywhere on the GWG page, and not the links, strangely enough.

I thought this was just me, but if others are having it too, it might have something to do with the GWG ads.

I just got into this site and then post, and my pc blocks 684pop ups <-DAMN!

hmmmm...hasn't happened to me.

we shouldnt have any popups whatsoever, please let me know asap what these popups are.

Running Norton Internet Security will stop those. I never have a problem when I have norton running.

As for other Pop-up blockers....they do not get everything.

On another note, I've not gotten any popups. None at all alone, and even the ones that pop up from the ads when I click on them are blocked by my web browser. Don't know what's up with you peoples (porn?).

i got popups. when running ie, quite randomely i would get about 3 popups.

>.<

That's strange.. I've never ever gotten any pop ups in guru.. and I click quite a bit! Can you guys give more details?

I've never had pop-ups either. I don't run any ad blockers or pop-up blockers.

I'm assuming a touch of some certain nasties you've gotten on yer PCs...? No problems here, you could try another web browser see if it's not affecting you then. I personally use Avant Browser, and it rocks.

The popup issue I've been having recently is more of a malware that randomly sets popups to display upon clicking the screen.

Up until recently I passed it off as something I got from an E-Mail bug/download/whatever, but then I got it on my home computer, as well.

The only sites that I visit both on this laptop and on my home computer are flashplayer.com, wimp.com, and GWG, so I can deduce that either this is something that's either entirely coincidental, or is linked to one of these three sites.

The major popup I get is "search inqwire.com"

I use Mcafee virus scan on my laptop and Norton on my home computer. Neither has picked up anything wrong up to this point. I've also run an Adaware scan, Spybot S&D, and CWShredder, and nothing has been found.

On a sidenote, no ordinary popups are coming through XD just these baddies

I've checked our advertisers and I don't see any Inqwire.com.

We dont have any popups and never should, if theres a popup upon clicking a link, most likely its some spyware that displays ads based on links you click on websites.

I need screenshots of these popups to be able to show them to the ad networks, but I highly doubt it is our ads.

The most important question would be, does it only happen on guild wars guru?

I have yet to get anypopups and i dont use any popup blockers of any kind,i also don't click ads i run free avg and zone alarm and neither of the versions stop popups nvr had a problem, but speaking of popups....

The popup notification for private messages does not seem to work for me, it is set correctly, i have checked several times, on several different computers.

Shrugs...*pops-out-of-sight*

:::End Transmission:::

Are any of you on Firefox because i am, just i don't see pop ups or banners on the forums?

I've come to the conclusion that it was probably some bug I had... I haven't gotten a single popup in days, now. So it's a good thing

the popup notification for PMs is now turned on
