Those Annoying Popups
#1
Does anyone else get these annoying popups in the lower left hand side of their screen or is it just me getting them?.....I only get them on BGR.
#2
Somebody with more of a technical background could explain my situation better, but I had a similar problem with a ton of ads popping up on BGR and other sites I went to one time, including YouTube. I came to find out that it was the result of adware in my computer that I had removed...I can't remember what I saw on that, but I looked up a youtube video to learn how to remove the adware.

I also downloaded Adblock Plus shortly afterward, which has been an excellent program - I would recommend it.

I don't get them. I feel left out.

Sounds like a case of adware/malware on your computer Bob.
Personally, I run Malwarebytes Anti Malware along with Ad Block Plus on my computer and since ive done that ive never had a problem. Been almost three years now. For the first time in my life, im actually going to have to buy a new computer because this one is worn out physically instead of crashing or internal problems.

I actually spend the 30 bucks a year for Malwarebytes Premium version, but to be honest, the free version probably works just the same. I obviously also keep my pop up blocker on 24/7. Ive never turned it off. The only time that gets annoying is when you click on a link and it wont open but ive found right clicking and opening in a new tab is easy enough for me.
I honestly cannot believe how well it has worked for me.

OK, well thanks everyone...Guess it's my problem...It just seemed strange that BGP is the only site that I have had the problem. I thought that maybe it was advertising in support of the website...Anyways, thanks again.

Sounds like Bob is viewing some things he shouldn't be.
