You're using a very, very old version. The current version is 1.5.0.4, and it contains lots of bug and security features. Next, what browser are you using? If FF, then why aren't you using its popup blocker to block sites. Third: Some sites have figured out how to by-pass popup blockers. Fourth: It depends on the type of popup it is. Is it a flash popup, is it a pop under, or pop down, or other. -- Murphy's Laws of Computing: A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want to do.

Sounds like spyware, a quick googling confirms this. Don't blame it on the sites you visit or Javascript at all. Outerinfo is running a program on your computer. All the best with the cleanup ivo

All the best with the cleanup > ivo I'm not blaming it on anything right now, since I don't know what causes it... the weird thing is, I'm even getting them (sometimes) when I visit my own site!!! just got one that on the title it says: http://ad.oinadserver.com/iframe3?AAA.. etc.. (long query string..) this is on IE6, on FF don't get pop-ups.. (yes, have pop-ups blocked on my FF..) thank you..

(and how do you know I'm using TB at all? :) will follow your advice, I installed it at my new job and noticed it's different from version I have at home.. question: do I uninstall current installation first? (copied config/data files to my desktop just in case, data (messages, news group subscriptions, address book, etc.) should be preserved, right? thank you.. |
