Anyone else out there experiencing a LOT of pop-ups on this site lately? ... I never had the problem before, but the past week or so it's gotten REALLY annoying?

Tony,
I have never had a popup or spyware on this site or others either because my Earthlink ISP does not allow it.
$21.95 for 24/7 and no limitiations. DSL a tad more check it out. They are the second largest ISP in the US today behind only AOL.

Google toolbar has free pop-up stopper that works great. But, I've never had a pop-up on this site.

Maybe you want to clear your cache, delete offlines files and delete cookies from your browser.
Might have some left over from other sites.

Actually this is my office PC... I know we have some software to protect us from this stuff and I can't really download any 'outside' software ... It's just that I've never had the problem before, and I don't have it at home (I HAD to say it, didn't I ), so something must have changed here ... I'll keep checking with the in-house techs ...
As always, thnx for the feedback ....

Tony,

This site does not have any popup. Therefore, what is most likely happening is there is some spyware on the computer you are using. Please download the latest version of ad-aware, spybot, spywareblaster; Then after installation, make sure they are all updated with the latest databases and then configured. Then run them and clean those evil programs away.

Tony,

I can almost guarantee you that the pop-ups are coming from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). I've never had a single pop-up in all the time I've been visiting this site.

Good Luck,

Gary

No. Synthzone.com does not have any popup. You got spyware/adware on your pc. Blame yourself, not Synthzone. (And rush to www.lavasoft.de to get yourself a nice free copy of AdAware :-)

It's harder to instruct someone online, so here goes...

Any kind of pop-up blocker software, including the Google pop-up stopper, will only block the stuffs coming from the visiting website, but if the pop ups orginated from inside your PC, Google will be helpless.

So, how often do you get these popup? Do you get it while visiting a website? Or it just pop up as soon as you open a browser windows (the latter is more serious)? I can go on and on to tell you what to do, but maybe it's best if we go from step to step.
