Does CS use pop up ads? ( Archived) (11)

Oct 30, 2008 11:03 AM CST Does CS use pop up ads?
I have Stopzilla popup protection enabled, windows firewall turned on, Zone alarm working but I still get pop ups when I open Connecting Singles.

Am I alone in this or what?

I don't get any pop up ads.

Stopzilla itself is probably spyware.

Use Firefox and download the free advertiser blocker...works great.

I've never had a pop-up on this site, whether using internetexploder, firefox or AOL. Must just be you...

Bummer! sigh

No popups here, I have a blocket but it doesn't even say it's blocked anything from here. Those, my Spyware Blaster has blocked an ad on here before.

I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. It doesn't allow pop ups unless you allow them. I've never had a pop up ad from CS. Actually, until you mentioned it, I didn't know that they used them.

CrosstownTraffic: As a matter of interest. What would you say is better than Firefox as a browser, surely you can't mean internet explorer!


At least with explorer.. you can add any popup stopper to it, mine stops all, however.. at this site I use firefox and no popups.

but.. on other sites I get a lot of popups and popunders with firefox.
but none with explorer.

still say you have a trijan or grayware.. run a good antivirus.

if you don't have one up to date... use this one free....

Cheers for that,
My system is clean touch wood. I use Firefox at the moment and never have any trouble with it, and have Spybot S&D on here and Avast antivirus. Both free. I was just curious to the possiblity of different browsers as I find internet explorer to be a holey as your average sieve.

cheers
