I have had the google toolbar pop-up blocker for about 6 months now a blocked about 2000 of these bastards. Now in the last three weeks they have been coming back. :cursin: These new ones dont appear as you bring up a new page, but while you are viewing a page. My blocker only blocks pop-ups while the page is loading, not after it is loaded. Does anyone else have this problem. Madjacks is one of the worst, i know jack has nothing to do with it, but i was wondering if this happens to any of you?

I have never had a pop-up here, or anywhere for that matter, since installing Norton w/ pop-up blocker. Sounds to me like you've got some sort of spyware/adware on your computer. Have you tried AdAware or Spybot?

Also, if you are running XP, have you recently installed SP2? It seems to have a way of reconfiguring/disabling some software.
