Have never gotten any popups from this forum. Which web browser do you use?

I never got the pop-up either, but I have three pop-up blockers that I know about and probably a dozen more that I don't know about. I never get pop-ups.

No pop-up blockers, no pop-ups on this site. Ever.

Sounds like you might have spyware or an ad-bot on your system. I never get pop-ups from this site.

No, the point is that the site does not have pop-up ads. Most browsers have pop-up blocking capabilities, and indicate when they are blocking pop-ups. This site has never triggered the pop-up blocker. I would agree with cyberlegend - you have some spyware or malware on your computer that is causing this. A good way to test this would be to try navigating the site through another computer.

No, you did not get it. As DarkLord and Cyberlegend stated, there are no pop-ups on this site. I have no pop-up blocking software (with the exception of what Firefox does on its own) and have never had a problem on cyclingforums. Does sound like a spyware/malware problem on your machine.

Go to the Ad Aware website and download the free version of Ad Aware. It's very good software for finding and removing spyware. Use it.
