hawaiianjuggernaut Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Was browsing around in the classifieds, and I would get these short random popups from who knows where. I have adblock software and this is probably the first ad I have seen in 2 years on any website. What is stranger is if you look at the image, the word "power" in italiacs and hyperlinked, is what made this thing pop up. Anyone else seen this? It happened at least 4 times within the last half hour :s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I will look into it for you. We shouldn't have any form of advertising on the forums. The only place it may be coming from is the tapatalk add on. I will also check to see if something has been turned on or activated that was previously dormant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawaiianjuggernaut Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Here are 2 more. This is very strange. I am not getting advertisements on any other websites Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarMonkee Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Check to make sure you dont have something like webcake installed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Done some digging. Saw that your images had "by CouponDropDown" in the ALT text. Looks like you have that installed. There's a reference article here: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-coupon-drop-down.html Check your Add/Remove Programs and let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawaiianjuggernaut Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 It isnt showing up there and isnt showing under Chrome extensions. Time to get my antispyware stuff booted up to try and find where the goshdarn thing is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawaiianjuggernaut Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well I dont know what I did, but the ads stopped. Sorry for the false alarm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Glad you found it. Spyware is horrible stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
