GTM has secret popups?
« on: September 14, 2010, 11:59:22 AM »
No, not the type of robot, those annoying adverts.
 
Sometimes when I click on tournament discussion a new tab opens with google adverts, is this happening to anyone else?

This has never happened to me. Check to see if you've got your firewall turned on, and any anti-popup/ stuff running. If the problem persists, I reckon it could be a virus of some sort. Run an antivirus or antispyware check just to be sure. I use MalWareBytes myself, mostly because it's free and it gets rid of them.

You have adware and probably viruses....get Spybot Search and Destroy......and an antivirus, like AVAST (free)

Manwarebytes and AVG are the best you can get.

Ugh, Google Ads on a popup? What a noob mistake. I know it's out of my character to bite at someone but.. really, it deserves it.
