those who get these might also wanna run adaware (i think thats the name) on their systems to make sure you don't have any spyware running

I haven't got a single pop up yet. Are you guys that are using Internet Exploiter? Im on Netscape and I haven't had any and Ive been reading through posts on several of the forums.

I haven't gotten any of these here at work... if I see any, I'll keep you posted.

Just got this pop-up:

while in this thread

now i'm pretty sure its spyware cuz i was all up in that thread with no popup...run Adaware

Here's a link for you lazy folks....run it and report back your progress soldiers!

http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0...st-7-1.6372708

i hope the link works, if not go to www.download.com and search for adaware

Are you guys running any instant messaging software? Like AIM of Messenger?

While checking this thread, I got another one! WTF!

Properties are :

Going to that site

did you run adaware dek?

Um...

I run adaware every time I add a program.

Yes, I had MSN Messenger running, but I don't get pop-ups anywhere out of the ordinary.

Like dek, I only got the pop-up once in the thread (while the page was loading).

Yep, did it, then I got another popup.

Actually, I recieved a weird pop-up the other day. If I get another one I'll be sure to note which thread and where the ad goes to...

I frequently run Adaware as well. I got the porn popup only once and it was on THIS thread a couple of days ago when I opened it for the first time. I haven't got anything else since. Weird.

Whatever it is, it is a very random pop up ad. I can be reading for 3 hours and not get it, but sometimes all it takes is logging in and checking 1 page and BAM. Like I said, no biggie, I just thought you should know.

damn.. I still havent gotten the porn popup.. what am I doing wrong?

I've not seen any yet at my work computer; I'll check from home when I get a chance.

Could it be some weird pop-up code coming in with the ads? Are all ads now served from ads.kleinman.com, and are those ads all hand-made? Is that server secure and virus-free?

Maybe we could e-mail the sites the pop-ups are for, and ask where they advertise. Assuming this marketing "tactic" is unintentional.

Now I got something different! In this thread, http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=124853 a box popped up that had this on it,

If this is a browser thing, I wish I knew why it only happens here and how to fix it.

I still haven't gotten a single pop up. I dont think its coming from this site. Im here alot, from home and work. I bet its coming from your IMs.

I wish it was, but my MSN Messenger is/was not on.

I tried your link and on the second reloading of it, got the same popup to happen. First time this happened to me for dvdtalk.

Edit:

Maybe it has to do with this image that was in the thread?

http://www10.ewebcity.com/fhrx/dvdtalk/pepsigif.gif

Yes, you're right. That authentication dialog box is caused by that GIF. However, that is all unrelated to the Porn pop-up problem.

Wrong. IM wasn't on. Only thing I had running on my computer is Dvdtalk and work programs, nothing else.

no pop-ups here

Still no pop ups for me, at work or home.
