Pop-ups???? [+ favourites]

I posted in General, but suppose I should have asked here first. I'm getting shut down by the plethora of pop-ups behind this window on your site only. I can see 1 or 2 but 11? Shuts me down and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del my way out or unplug (sometimes). ONLY on this site. I don't get any on other forums I frequent. Ideas? Suggestions?

Hi Squat,

I did not know that we had popups on Captain Cynic!

I'm changing some of the stuff, let me know if any new ones show up. Also, list any of the company names that represent the ads if you can.

Well, looks like you got whatever it was that popped in. I've been on for 30 minutes and nary a pop-up. BTW, they were all from Entrepreneur.com and came up behind and under this screen. Thanks.

pop ups?
goto- panicware.com and get there free pop up blocker it is great.-
http://panicware.com/product_psfree.html

click on link on top and install
works great for me-

also pop ups have a lot to do with Spyware little programs that get on your PC from the net- Get adaware to get rid of these- http://www.lavasoft.de/
both are free and will help a great deal- also don't forget about running AntiVirus software and a firewall
AV Software- Free http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php
Firewall Free http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp
All these softwares are free and work pretty good-
Pop up adds can have as much to with your PC (and where you have been before) as it does with the site in question.
Anyway it is a complicated bussines- just make sure your PC is protected.
