Title: Andrew, i think you may have more pop-up problems
Post by: Callysto on August 12, 2003, 01:59:52 AM
Hey Andrew,

Kriegerg69 wrote to you on 8-11-03 about an annoying little pop-up that came up when he accessed the site. I made a reply to that about a pop-up that I got on the site as well.

Well I justed got on again and was hit by two pop-up windows in a row. I have pop-up blockers and I am constantly double clicking annoying little ads. Well these just would not go away with it this time. I know you work hard at keeping them off your site because they lag it down and they take up more of the screen and stuff, but it seems that someone- those who must supply those pop-ups do not care how you feel about them.

The following are the two that came up in a row :

Thought you would like to check them out and see what goes. You run this site exceptionally well and I would hate to see someone disrespecting what you want to get in a few promos and such.

Callysto,

This time it looks like you are infected with Gator, because SearchScout is part of their suite of spyware.  Well, really a little search engine that they tacked in.

Best get rid of that annoying thing.  Download AdAware, update it, and run it.  I would bet money that it finds Gator on your system:

Ok I will check into that.

I had never had that happen before and it just drove me crazy the past couple of times I got on after reading the other post.

So far I have not had any problems with the pop-up thing but will do just as you said and see what goes.

Thankx again!!!
