I didnt recieve any pop-ups ? Maybe cuz im using firefox. let me open AO in IE....
still no pop-ups, let's disable the pop-blocking google toolbar :)
still no pop-ups....lesson from post, dont use IE, and if u use it, use a toolbar :)
btw: Soda, i used to ahve pop ups when i came to AO once, turned out to be spyware :( ....
In answer to both threads about this.....I haven't received any pop-ups or pop-unders.
Of course I use Firefox (latest release) and Proxomitron, so it would be unlikely for any to get through.

I have no adware on this box. I got the pop up in Fox and Kmeleon as well. It wasn't every time either, it was random on page loads and exits.
Before you start panicking, you might want to read the Privacy Policy which is there to protect you. This "campaign" seems to be an overreaction to a single incident, IMHO.Quote:

Hey Soda~
You are a chosen one.............they never send me any pop ups........
I do look at some of the Ads..........well that's what they are there for?..........it is in the AUP.......I am allowed......what are the pop ups about? like what do they advertise?
That is a serious question, as I have never seen any...............nor have I had an invite to this conference room thingy.............maybe I smell?
Chill bro :)
I wasn't expecting to be taken seriously :/.... I thought the "campaign" was funny!
anyhooo... MsM I think jupM blocked my IP... I'll pm you.
I checked your profile, and everything seems fine, Soda... I can't imagine JUPM banning your IP, either :)
nihil- a small pop up with this image

BTW- I don't use pop up blockers. I dont wan't symptoms of any sort of malware to be hidden. I want to know when my system is infected.
And yeah, I can't access AO w/o using a proxy. And I am pretty sure I am clean of malware. Neg, I pm'ed you why I think I'm blocked.
Now thats logic.Quote:

Rather than prevention. Cure.
Your logic is wrong.Quote:

Rather than prevention. Cure.
If adware gets on my machine, I want to see any pop ups it will make so I know that adware somehow got there. I don't want a popup blocker hiding any symptoms of an infection. I don't consider a pop up blocker an answer to adware pop ups, it simply hides the symptoms.
As for prevention- Yes, I do have my security settings enabled and configured, thank you very much. :p
edit: how weird.... I got a new IP from my isp, and now I can get to AO just fine.
Dang Soda,
I just got your little popup. Same one asking me to take a survey and win $. I was using Galeon.
I was gonna neg the popup but I couldn't find the menu on it. :D
cheers
I got it again today as well. I've heard something about JupMedia doing a survey? Perhaps if they could let us know what's going on, it might relieve some of the concerns that members have.
Deb, I had actually posted it here. http://www.antionline.com/showthread...998#post771837
There are popups. I use IE only to come here and I have had a few.
If they persist or get worse I am outie.
I got two today, the survey wasnt so bad but it came back up two minutes later.
Yeah, and I bet you don't get the 500 bucks either !
I vote with Soda "Stop Popup" We are on strike
(Soda pls take lead on our protest to receive most of the bullets) :P
IMHO those popups are annoying. Or even pointless, since that "valuable" member just block/close the ad. Perhaps Jupm can use another way to do it less annoying
Thanks MsMittens :)
