Heartland

Why is it that I'm suddenly getting pop-up ads when I visit this website?

They're very infrequent, but so far I've had
*one imploring me to Visit wales (Has Andythegoth been tampering with the site??!)
*one inviting me to buy 4 DVDs for the price of one, and
*one that was just gobbledygook (my favourite word).

What's going on, QB? something to do with your server?

I dread to see the day when Heartlanders will be bombarded with ads to buy the latest Gareth Gates/Peter Andre CD.

It's probably 'exit' popups from the site you were viewing before HL. Man I hate it when they do that...

I'd intstall ad-aware and do a scan if I was you!

the '3 CDs 4 a pound' one happened when I'd been surfing this site for a while.??

And I've just had a new one saying 'free yourself from debt!!?

definitely nothing to do with heartland...




heartland is ad free and always(*) will be

another good one to use is 'SpyBot - Search and Destroy' and also 'System Mechanic' if you PM me with your email address I'll send you the exe's to install them your machine.

BS

try installig the google search bar.

it's a tiny wee prog, dead easy to set up and it has a popup block facility, which is really easy to turn on /off . best of all it's 100% free

just be careful to check the box that says

"i want records of everywhere i've been, sent back in a report, which will be indiviually poured over in search of people who surf the web for subversive materials such as shakin' stevens, or crowded house fansites"

@ bs: if you've recently got broadband or something it might be that you're getting popup spam through that?

if so, i would install some kind of firewall software such as zone alarm or norton personal firewall...

and make sure u turn of the evil messenger service

quick note...

adaware - use it!!! 448 trace tracking files found on my pc...

google toolbar - installs a few of its own, don;t use it...

best advice run moxilla or opera...kills everything.

mozilla firefox is quite nice

www.avantbrowser.com for trouble-free ad-blocking browsing.

It's an addon to IE with loads more options, tweaks, etc.

I couldn't do without it.
