I'm using IE and no problem, only the usual two at startup.Comment

**shrug** I've received three pop-up ads since coming to 'Poly roughly seven minutes ago. I managed to nab the addresses of at least two of them (I have IE-Mac 5.1 set so they can't just deposit cookies willy-nilly w/o me knowing about it). The possible offenders are:
.z1.adserver.com
.gator.com
Hopefully this information will prove useful to whoever might care.

OK, I just got nailed by two more pop-up ads, both from eBay. I also had to decline more cookies from:
.qksrv.net
.commission-junction.com/
.mediaplex
I'm outta here for the timebeing. Work beckons ...

This has been discussed to death. Change your viewing style to Ultra Special, and you should receive less PU's.

I had lots of pop-ups with the special style, but now that I am back to standard, I get only one per day + one each time I click a link.

You poor MSIE users will get that one catched by Ad-aware and Spybot S&D.

Or, one could download the new Google Bar which has a built in popup-blocker without the bloatware or spyware.Originally posted by Asmodean

Odd. Using Moz and ain't gotten a thing. I'll sign in on IE though
EDIT: I'm going to put an outside link here to test some more. It is indeed likely all you guys just got infected with spyware
OR you're getting it from another app or site.

Is the recent increasing in popups in my pc related to my switching to the default style?! How could I see the last poster name and still keep the ultra light style?
