Is it just me, or are there suddenly a lot more
(and a lot more aggressive) popups coming up on
this forum? I can't even look at the board
without firing up my anti-pop software (which
slows down my computer pretty badly, which is why
I don't use it all the time), lest I suddenly
have ClockSync, Weatherbug and a whole bunch of
other crap thoughtfully install itself on my
computer without asking my permission.
Particularly annoying is a program called POP!,
which has taken it upon itself to remake my
browser in its own graven image. And I thought
the Bonzi buddy was bad...
If it's just me, then I'll have to do a really in-
depth scan to see if I have spyware hiding on my
computer somewhere, though I doubt that's it;
AdAware and a hand search haven't come up with
anything to stop this. If anyone else is having
the same difficulty, please let me know! |
