POP UP TABS

[ToffeeBlueNose]

OK enough is enough my ADBLOCK is disabled for this site, I've not posted for a few weeks because everytime i come on a f*ckking tab pops up sayin i have won an iphone in my area...not an advert a f*ckin actual new tab!!

I know i'm not a paying member yet but I will be and i've used this forum for a few years so get rid of sh!t like that or my adblock is firmly back on, I know nobody cares but still

Oh and by the way i'm not a complete novice on comps so i do have malware etc installed ffs

Ah, well there you go. Learn something new everyday.

Unusual though. I've accessed GOT on at least six PCs in the last year alone and not had that issue.

Same.

The issue above was occuring on every website that had Google embedded. Having checked, there's no current known Google issue.

That settles it then. TNB please stop looking at weird porn.

Install Microsoft security essentials, run a full scan, empty your browsers cookies, MRU, flash cookies and so on.


Do a clean using ccleaner, it's free and legit (google it)

Finally, run a complete further scan using security essentials.

What browser are you using? It sounds very much like a browser hijack

just using firefox and eset nod32 antivrus, done a full clean with ashampoo winoptimizer as well but still happening, pretty annoying as i can't read any threads properly.

So, does it still happen if you turn adblock on ?

haha you know i haven't even tried, yet was hoping it was just a passing trend, it seems to be better today only had it twice so far.

Just turn it on for a day and see if it carries on happening. Danny isn't going to ban you for trying to determine what's wrong

Is this before or after sawdust ?

I have never had this problem either. Regardless of whether on Mac, PC or Tablet
