Is it just me

[wvjules]

or do others get pop-up ads when they come to the DIS?

 

[shep]

I don't get them..

 

[SPAGo 98]

i don't, either. have you tried clearing your cookies?

 

[kinlaw6450]

I never have at the DIS

 

[Kelsie]

I have never seen a pop-up on the DIS.

 

[amid chaos]

I think that's your 'inspired' prize.

I never do Jules, but it seems to me I've read that some people do. . I have no idea why that would happen, but I can ask the tech people if they know anything about it for ya. . .

Just yesterday I started getting these and I was really surprised. I hoped that it wasn't the DIS sending them out. My husband checked something last night and thinks it may have been that my sister signed up for Kazaa and it was bringing them.

 

[olena]

I've never gotten any.

 

[honeywolf7]

I get them too, but my Panicware stops them.

 

[Sonya]

It's just you.

Do you use MSN as your internet page?
I kept getting pop ups too until I realized DH set the page for MSN I was getting tons of popups...

[EROS]

No way!!!

MSN is our homepage, and I've never gotten a pop-up ad while surfing the DIS.

 

[wvjules]

My homepage is set as MSN. I think I only get them here when I come straight from there. It must be an MSN carryover.

 

[Blondie]

I've come straight from MSN to here many times, and I still don't get pop up ads.

 

[Maleficent2]

We use MSN and have MSN as our home page and do not get pop ups from MSN or the DIS.

Not saying you do not just saying we don't.

I hate pop ups.

I get them but they are from Internet Explorer I think. I get them everywhere.

I need to buy one of those pop up ad stopper thingies

The DIS does not have any advertising in the form of pop-ups. It sounds like you have some sort of Spyware - when you download things from the web they sometimes have these little advertising devils hidden within them as well.

The only free utility I know of is Ad Aware which scans your computer for various forms of Spyware and might take care of your pop-up problem. Be sure to read their FAQ first.
