Default Pop ups comming form this board

I have had a lot of spy ware lately on my PC. Daily even. It seems that soon after I come to the S2ki site, I get pop ups.


Am I the only one experiencing this?????????????????????????????

Mitch,

I have not had a problem with pop ups on this forum at all, but if I click on some of the links on this board or ones that members post, I will start to get a lot of pop ups. Specifically, the links to those photo sharing companies.

I don't have any pop up's either. Usually you get pops from a program that was downloaded onto your computer or a website that has pops when a page is opened.

Usually sites that have a membership fee dont have pop-ups, Usualll because pop-ups are used as a source of payment for the site.

Get Ad-aware and Spybot. These two programs compliment eachother very well (even though spybot tells you to delete ad-aware). Bassically if one program doensnt get a form of Spyware,the other does. Or you could always get a pop-up blocker, but those are essentially for the sites that have pop-ups automatically. Spyware can really take up system resources, so just blocking it isnt your best option.

Come on! No one is going to take the invite to turn this into something scandalous. Surely someone can think of a reason for "popups".

Well, your best bet is to make sure there updated. Thats something often overlooked by people. S2ki should not be giving u pop ups....so if ure getting them, u have spyware. S2ki runs off of Membership fee's and banners.

As we can all atest, theres nothing worse then a group of aggravated S2k owners...
