Thread: Pop Ups? Anyone still seeing them?

That may have been temporary since I was disabling many of these "plugin" programs while testing.

I haven't seen any pop ups tonight. Are we getting closer?

Yep, clicked on the "Member's Account Talk" link, and a new tab opened with a cigarette vape web site: Electronic Cigarettes & Vaporizers | V2.com

OK, thanks. I have one more trick but I don't want to try it until Friday night when I have a couple of days to recover if I screw it up.

First time I tried getting on TSPTalk forum from my Mac it directed me to another site called trustedmaccleaner.com where a popup tells me to "please consider cleaning your Mac from junk".
I had to close out of it and go back in to post but not without a second tab opening up from abnety.com

Tom,

Started to log in from work computer and got a popup that was denied (web filter violation). Tried to reply to thread and it wouldn't connect. Went to main page and go another popup from adnety. Letting me "reply with quote". Typing is still an issue with letters missing even from work computer. Very strange.

This is what my tuying looks like without rrectios. No I do't tpewit al thumbs but I amsow. GGGRRRRRRR!!

Looked at the site last night at home for a few minutes..my Malwarebytes flagged 5 different malicious malwares..had to do a puter scan to remove them..ugggg!

Similar results here. This is really annoying.

Re: Cactus typing issues in reply: IE seems to be the worst. I have been using Edge, the latest IE, and see issues here and there with the basic reply. (I'm on it now).

Cactus, you may want to change your editor setting from wysiwyg to standard and see if it helps (while using IE)

Here's the software folks themselves admitting the issue...

I hate to ask anyone change browser because, well how inconvenient, but since I've used Chrome I haven't had those issues.

Bquat: I know you've tried a lot of things with the attachments and I am stumped but still looking for answers. How one person's uploader would work and another's not is too weird, but obviously possible.

I did delete the one program that I was concerned about and mentioned yesterday, and hope it did something, but I'm thinking it had more to do with the pop up issue than attachments.

Thanks for your patience everyone. I know it's annoying, but you can keep telling me (). I need the feedback to know if the changes I'm making are doing anything.

Im still getting popups. Just now it was from www.adnety.com. Pretty invasive. Wouldn't let my type until I closed the window. This is my work computer and the only site I visit besides INTRA-net sites is TSPtalk and marketwatch so this computer is not infected from outside sources.

I'm still getting popups much as everyone else who has been reporting it, although it seems more like a webpage is "hijacking" where I want to go. For instance I check my likes page and instead I get adnety.com or I look at another members thread and instead get one of the other aforementioned web sites. Doesn't act like a popup, but more like an actual hijacking. FYI, this happens whether I am logged in to TSPTalk or viewing as a guest. In addition, it does not occur at any other website I visit, just TSPTalk...Hope this helps.

Just got a scary pop up I had to ctrl alt del out of and ran Microsoft essentials and McAfee and found so problems:
