Title: Pop-ups??? Post by: SkyHighT100 on March 02, 2005, 04:10:53 AM I was wondering if anyone else is getting any pop-ups while surfing the pages of AtvFlorida? I have only been on about 3 minutes so far and have recieved 2 pop-ups. One of them wasnt exactly family-friendly. I am not sure how the pop-up system works... but if AtvFlorida is taking part in them... the moderators may want to evaluate what type of adds are actually popping up.

check out www.spywareguide.com and do an online scan to see. Title: Re: Pop-ups??? Post by: atvtrailer on March 02, 2005, 04:24:25 AM Ive never gotten a pop-up on this website, u may of had a program downloaded on your computer that makes pop-ups apear every so often, (dont matter what site u are on if any)

Title: Re: Pop-ups??? Post by: SkyHighT100 on March 02, 2005, 04:33:41 AM Ok, just wanted to double check ;) Thank you guys for the quick replies. I am at work, so Spyware didnt seem too likely, but you never know, lol. I just wanted to be sure that if AtvFlorida did have pop-ups going on, that the admins knew just what was being advertised, lol.

Title: Re: Pop-ups??? Post by: Thrasher on March 02, 2005, 02:06:05 PM I run none of them because i don't get spyware....
but i do my share of cleaning up other peopels computes with it...ugh.. but adaware is good, in conjunction with spybot: search & destroy.. just remember, no single software will totally rid yer pc of spyware...some have to be removed manually...

Title: Re: Pop-ups??? Post by: RL400 on March 02, 2005, 05:54:50 PM Microsoft bought some program from some company that was selling it for x amount of money per month... Well microsoft is giving it out for free now. Its called Microsoft AntiSpyware (BETA) - Its really good. If you always have your computer running and always have the program running, it'll scan about everynight at 1/2 am.
