    Tom: Happened to me today. The webpage was for some ad called Saveur. I closed it and completed logging in. However, I think this is happening to lots of people so may be some kind of worm, or the browser guys have changed how they advertise. But something is different. I'm going out tomorrow to buy and high end virus diagnostic program to run from my CD drive. Need to find out what happening because I was getting spammed yesterday. Had over 300 advertisements flood into my system. However, TSP Talk was not the only site I was visiting. But Im offline on the PC and using laptop only for now. Just FYI.

    My post earlier in my account talk was about what I believe are called banner ads. These are a normal part of life on most web sites including TSPTalk.


    Pop Ups are new windows that open uninvited? I was seeing a lot of new tabs opened in both chrome and edge. Not sure this was a TSPTalk problem. Not sure a new tab is a popup.


    Finally found a malware I may have gotten called JS slash techbrolo dot a which may have had nothing to do with TSPTalk servers.


    All of this started on August 23rd after win update.


    Tom I have a text file with most of the redirect urls if you think that may be helpful

    All clear on my end. No more pop-ups on my iPad or Mac.

    i don't see the popups thingy anymore, but occasionally my screen flashes a blue bar across the bottom and lags. and even if i log off my computer it keeps me logged into tsptalk so when i restart i go right back to where i was, even the political forums so this is definitely different than it used to be.

    i think the robot stole my password on the popup login deal and now is keeping me remotely logged in. so if i suddenly start posting a bunch of dirty stuff about boobs, it is probably some teenager in china driving my account remotely just so you know.

    They must have wiped out the Ark weekly report too.

    By the way it just happened again to me just now when I brought up the site.

    Sure, thanks. Can you copy and paste it into a PM if it fits?

    I was seeing it several times a day, but not since this afternoon when I made some changes that were recommended. I think the worst is behind us but I appreciate you posting any new problems so I can research.

    I believe the flash player thing may be a browser thing, but not sure.

    If you post a link from one of the pop-ups, please label it as "do not click" or something so folks know not to go there.

    Thanks!

    I got a popup when I went into the forums. I didn't see your request until I closed the popup.

    Yes....still getting them ! This morning was when I clicked on the forum username login box...a dire web site WITH spoken warning that my hard drive would be erased if I closed the window ! Later one showed up when I tried to "like" a post...issues even loading the site, later..."data base error"....looked like from vBulletin.

    Got one already from THIS login...

    Did not appear to have any issues from my Android phone's browser...I don't use Tapatalk.
