mysterious pop ups - GoFuckYourself.com

playa · 08-03-2001, 08:58 AM

Is it just me or do any of yall been noticing a small pop up like around 240X240 size that pops up on the lower right side of the screen just right above the time?

i swear it pops up like 3 times a day on odd times,,,,its not coming from the sites i look at,,,i double checked the codes on the sites i look at to see if its an exit or entrance and it ain't..i checked all the website windows and nothing,,no time consoles or anything

but what i noticed that it is very targeted to the site i just visited,,,ie business site,,biz advert pop up,,,,pornsite,,porn advert pop up..

and this is the common part,,,The graphics all come from "DOUBLECLICK.COM"

WTF do i got some spyware software or something in my system that pops them up??

really tricky shit

ACH!!!! Someone please get me a screen shot of this happening --- I don't know who's driving it, or how it's getting on your system but I had someone tell me the other day that there was a credit card app window popping up on our CCBill join pages sometimes -- and this is pretty much exactly the way he described it.

Interfering with joins -- which is what I consider this to be -- is not something we take lightly, nor do our attorneys.

Does anyone have a url where this is happening? I personally have not noticed it.
