MADJACKS overrun by POP- UPS ???

[Schouest]

I just changed pop up blockers and it looks like MadJacks shoots pop ups from sportsbook everytime I check in. Am I the only one ???

That just seems to piss people off..I know I dont like em !!

 

[MadJack]

i never have and never will allow advertisers to use pop ups. the problem is definitely on your end. maybe somebody here can tell you how to correct your problem. i have no idea and i never get a pop up from this site.

I don't get them.

You've got spyware/adware on your computer. It's reading the MadJacks page when you load it, and then giving you popups relevant to the subject matter here. I use AdAware, Microsoft Antispyware, and Spybot Search&Destroy. Load those three programs and run them all (and schedule them for regular spyware scans at off-hours) and you should be free of it all.

nope, never had a single one from madjacks at all.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

never get pop ups here

no pop-ups on my end...

I get 'em all the time too, Schouest, but it was likely from something else that one of my kids chose to download to my puter....LOL Never used to get them, but then all of a sudden after they were using my laptop while theirs were in the shop i get them all the time. here/cnn/wunderground/banking/credit card sites are the main ones that bring me pop-ups on every visit.

I used to, but it was definetely a problem on my computer. I started using Spysweeper, and the pop ups disappeared.

By the way, which popup blocker did you install? Some of these blockers are spyware in themselves. I never install anything like additional toolbars....especially something like Hotbar. It's known spyware and could be the problem. Things like Hotbar can also be notoriously difficult to fully remove from your system.

Those three I mentioned above are all clean and trustworthy - and free!

It's a yahoo blocker....but it doesnt seem to block CRAP...

I keep getting Party Poker, Sportinteraction, and various other books pop up here...

I'll try and find some spyware software...any ideas ???

I have an Ad-Aware SE that I run, it always seems to pick up stuff..but I guess that aint the answer !

Here is a link to a webpage that offers a free scan on-line, but nothing to download...sans paying for it.

Trend Micro


...you may need to update your Ad-Aware program, buddy.

Go to tucows dot com and search for those 3 popup blockers mentioned above. Run 'em regularly. AdAware alone doesn't catch everything. I have three blockers...each one runs two mornings a week, so almost every morning I've had a scan of some sort done.
