ghodges Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Is everybody seeing these, or is it just my computer? I'm using AVG, Spybot, and Ccleaner with everything up to date and no "problems" noted by any of them on my PC. Are these ads something that's infiltrated the servers, or is there something I need to do to cut them back or eliminate them? They started showing up here the last week or so. I see them on about 1/2 of the modeling sites I visit, but not on ALL sites, which leads me to believe some sites are more susceptible to them. Anybody know what's going on here? Thanks!

RLFoster Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Haven't seen them anywhere myself, Gil. I have Norton 360 and also use CCleaner, but I also have AdFender running all the time. Maybe someone else will chime in with more helpful info.

Guest PetrolGator Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Gil, I don't think its forum related. Contact me over Facebook. I might know some troubleshooting that can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose135 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 What browser are you using? I run Adblock Plus on Firefox (also available for Chrome) which blocks all ads, including most popups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLFoster Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I just Googled "coupon drop down" and immediately have dozens of links on how to remove this virus/malware/adware. It's definitely a PC issue, Gil...bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Had something similar a few weeks ago. The malware would add an advertisement in the right hand margin. Not that big a deal, but they would flicker like a strobe and slightly stutter in order to catch the eye. So very annoying and I had to Google how to remove it.
