Hi Bill, It's not a major problem really - just irritating.
If I close that browser page, it goes for a while, but always returns.
Perhaps it'll disappear up the dustpipe like the Ladbrokes' one did?
I can live in hope.
Cheers, Les.

As far as I'm aware it's usually just a different form of advertising that a site uses to get revenue. The url contains a reference that the advertiser can use to determine who initiated it and pay accordingly. Same for pop-unders.

Much the same as Google ads but more intrusive (hence counter-productive as far as I'm concerned), and not affected by adblockers.

Missed that on first reading. Haven't come across that.

It could be a pop-under running a timer to bring it up regularly� check the Window menu item to make sure you haven't got something open that you're not aware of.

Just so, Bill. More of a pain rather than being nasty. Just sent a report to Adblocker - perhaps they'll have some idea.
Cheers, Les.

Try Ghostery, blocks everything.

I also run Adblock Plus which is quite nice in that it blocks just about everything!

Sites such as this though which I find useful I override the AB+ settings and allow the ads through.

Just installed the ghostery, Bat - time will tell but, having done a system restore (from about 5 days ago) the bl**dy thing's not shown itself for the last 15 minutes.
We'll see.
Cheers, Les.

Not quite, there is one site I use where some small integrated adverts appear, however it does stop all the others there.

Try SFF with Ghostery blocking and then paused.

I run Firefox and have <Block Pop-up Windows> selected in the options.

However, it often gets toggled - possible by a website, certainly not by me.

Just so, Ian.
I've installed the Ghostery program (recommended by BatBoy) as an extra.
It seems that doing a 5days back system restore "may" have cured the problem - at least it's not shown for the last 50 minutes!
Cheers, Les.
