Angry Annoying Pop-ups on Posts.

Hello,

I've just noticed that a Chase Bank popup ad appears seconds after I view the top post on a page, and it covers part of the text. There is no "Close" or "X" button on the ad. It can't be moved aside nor closed. I am stuck with it. I tried clicking it, and it just opened itself up in a new window in my browser. When I closed it, the popup returned again to cover up part of the post.

Has anybody else recently encountered this annoying nuisance on the Forums? I understand DPS needs to make money with ads, but they should allow the ads to be closeable. Unless there is some key-combination I don't know about.

I did have an ad (I could not say what it was for) covering part of the top posts earlier today. But it's gone now.

What web browser are you using? Use a web browser that prevents unwanted pop-ups, like Opera or Firefox.

I also suggest that you check your computer for spyware. If the ad you're seeing is not originating from this website, then it is most certanly some kind of spyware. You can download this to scan you pc:
