Are you guys getting pop up ads?

I just got a survey ad sliding across my screen. I thought I had a pop up blocker....

No pop-ups. I'm using Chrome. But I did notice that we now see ads on Proboards. It's not so bad though.

I have AdBlocker, so I'm not seeing them.

I'm using Chrome too- I don't usually get pop ups either. On the bright side, it had an X to close it unlike the Nest ads.

No pop ups and I doubt I have adblocker, not that I can even check the settings. I have to say, though, the ads on here are way less obtrusive than on TN.

Sounds like your computer might be infected with adware. Download Malwarebytes & run a scan.

Hmmm. Damn work computer.

Is it happening on any other websites? You'll know it's adware and not just proboards if you get pop-ups on other sites. I just searched the support site & according to proboards they do not do pop-ups.

I haven't seen an ad like that pop up anywhere else, no.

I'm running a malware scan now so hopefully that will shed some light on it.
