Click a link and get nasty advert installing things

[Dauphin]

Ok clicked on a link in a thread, got this message pop up:

[Kuciwalker]

It charges in pounds?

[Dauphin]

And a cookie request that I declined:

Ok this is annoying. Any external links I click on give me this crap and its one of those annoying recurring pop ups that won't take 'no' for an answer.

What thread? You should PM the person who posted it and possibly MarkG. Perhaps it was intentional... or some mistake.

[Dauphin]

I first noticed it on a thread that I made, and its a link to a BBC webpage.

Now I notice its on any external link from Poly - i.e its coming from the redirect screens you get after clicking an external link.

[MarkG]

let me know if you get it again

Scary stuff.
Haven't seen them... don't want to...

[Dauphin]

The pop-ups are gone. Thanx. Will let you know if they reappear.

Clicking links might get you in all kinds of ackward situations. It all depends on what links you click

Use Firefox

[Dauphin]

I thought Markos didn't like people using pop up filters, such as the automatic filters in Firefox.

[Robert]

Since when do we care what Markos likes?

Use Opera.

I'm having the same problem that Dauphin since a few days ago, but it happens only once (just when I click in the first thread when I log in).

It's a Weather stuff installer. I'm pretty sure that someday I'll click "yes" by mistake
