Why do I keep getting Pop up ads from this site
Whats up with EvoM I keep getting all these stupid POP UP ads for SAVE and car ads from your site and some thing keeps popping up saying do you want to install Macro Media plus everytime I try to view a post or reply. Whats up with this? It is making my time on EvoM a real pain in the As# now to view anything without having to say no or exit out of a pop up. This all started about 2-3 days ago I never used to have any problem with this site till now. And yes I have POP UP blocker but these damn ones seem to be able to get thru and it's only while visiting EvoM.
Is anyone else having this same problem. I know you guys need to make some $$$ but this every minute thing is really disturbing....

Have AOL with Pop control and any other site I visit I dont get pop ups or this Macro media download thing with a big security warning. It just bugs me becuase I love this site and everytime latley I come on I get popped to death and contantly have to exit out or click no . I will try another toolbar like you guys said and see if that helps and download Ad-ware. Thank you all who replied.

This has been brought up in the past. If you notice, you get the pop up (to download Micromedia) for the shining monkey ad, and one other one (sorry, I don't remember which one). But it is because those ads use that particular software.
You may have other spyware hidden in your computer that is also adding pop up ads, but as far as the micro media ones....

Running new spy ware software and have 4 hits so far. I am just confused why do they only come up when I am on Evo M.
Thanks everyone.
It looks like I will be back to smooth sailing on this site once again. It suck's not being super computer savy but you guys have helped me with my problem.

The other thing that you can do is download a new browser (i.e. not use internet explorer). The one that I would recomend if you go that route would be Firefox.

I got Webroot Spy Sweeper for pop-ups... you gotta buy & don't remember how much it was, but my pop-ups were sooooo bad that I had to re-format the computer & then bought this product... no pop-up since...
