I don't know if this is in the right place but, about every 5-10 minutes on guru an ad pops up for myspace girly backrounds. (it has some inapproatiate stuff for people under 18 lets just leave it at that) and it does all the sound you here if u were rapidly click. Then we you try to exit it keeps on coming back and control+alt+delete nearly freezes my brand new dell xps top of the line and forces you to exit your entire internet explorer. SOMOne move this to the right area and fix the promblem please. I have no promblem with ads but that thing is retarded

Goes under site feedback.

Does this happen once you've logged in? I'm guessing you don't have any screenshots either.

I got something similar. "Click Ok to download our free software whilst viewing this website" But i just hit the X and it went away. I'm always logged in, will take screenshot if it happens again. First time it's happened to me.

Was going to take SS's earlier, but thought nothing of it.

Scan your system for spyware/adware.

Should be the first thing you do when you see weird popups like that, just in case.

Heh, well I was gonna say, "post a screenie," but if the pc is locked up, that may not work.

sry about putting this in the wrong place. I do daily scans every morning and found nothing, i'm scanning again. Secondly no screenies

. And if i had a screeny, i don't think i would be allowed to post it becuase of the content on the ad. Anyway to get rid of this, i'm great with computers but this is just annoying

Ok then, it's probably not spyware. So..

i find using only one antispyware/adware program dosent always get everyting try using some other ones

i dont see why spyware would work on only one url maybe its the script for the logon ativating it

I've had the same thing happen usually right after posting. Both the not so appropriate one and the click ok to download then when you x it it has another that you have to click ok to go away from the page or something, I have to ctrl, alt, delete and exit firefox from there.

That same ad actually came up for me too, yesterday, during class actually, haha. Thankfully it came up behind the main GWG window so it didn't really show up on the monitor. My school computers are cleaned and maintained very well and very regularly so I don't believe it's from spyware/adware or anything like that. It didn't freeze the computer or anything though, I just X'ed it out without it doing anything.

Firefox + Adblock plus + NoScript = Ad/pop free Guru.
