You got one with FireFox? Was ABP on?

That's really odd.

Why don't you just use NoScript and block 'afterdawn.net' and 'afterdawn.com'?

Sure, you'll lose the neat little buttons that save all your fat fingers a few seconds of typing, but you won't get pop-ups for slimfast all day long ;-)

I'm still not getting them... run hjt and adaware and see if you have that nasty popup running POC buried on your system.

Failing that.. kill java and have a play with page permissions.

slimfats.. ffs ;).. it will be Jenny Craig again soon.. Damn.. she was on TV for a whole hour this morning trying to sell some crap or other. /me hates that woman with a vengeance after trying to access AD from the library....

@7thSinger

For fear that varnull will jump all in my $hit, I'll still post this. What is Firefox ABP??- I assume that is Automatic Pop-up Blocker? Yes it's on, and AD.com cookie is allowed until I sign off. I run CCleaner every time I leave the net also. Be kind Jan! Oops not in her vernacular. :)

Same here, I got one a few days ago (don't remember which ad though) and it was when I had ABP disabled.

You can download ABP from its site here or on the Firefox plug-in site here.

If you're using AdBlock Plus, go to Preferences > Filters > 'Add filter subscription...'

Then, when you're there, add EasyList (USA) to your filters and that should cut out a great deal of the ads, just by the nature of their linking/scripting etc etc.

For example, blocking "/ad_*.gif" has had 7879 hits on my ABP.

At home...no issues with FF3 (recently updated)

Ditto.

That has been a recommendation through the entirety of this thread.

Thanks guys

I installed ABP from Pop_Smith's link, easy. We shall see if circuit city goes away quietly. I think they are about toast anyway. I've seen rumors of their demise especially since Blockbuster didn't buy them out. They're building a big new store here too.

@Garmoon

A little OT here, but i don't think Circuit Shit*y is on their way out as well.

@RTM

I think you'll dig Firefox. And being free of pop ups is nice too. :)

I have to stick with IE7 unfortunately because of business purposes and the business software used only integrates with IE . I don't post here often anymore but i read quite a bit , but now these ad's are getting to the point that i don't even want read things here anymore . I miss the old AD when i didn't get slammed with ad's everytime i came here . ohwell

This is the ad in IE, but it happens to me in FireFox aswell.
