Malicious pop-up on AllakhazamFollow

#1 Mar 09 2004 at 5:05 AM Rating: Decent
There's on particularly malicious pop-up advert that the site is getting paid for - you really have to watch your advertising more carefully!!!

It's trying to download some software to the users machine, and if you say 'no' it keeps on insisting. Takes about 7 or 8 clicks for this to go away, and is the most irritating ad I've ever come across. Of course, now I'm trying to get more details on it, it won't come back... perhaps someone else can give details on this so that you can contact your advertising people and give them a good ***********

Will take a look. For future reference, when you come across an ad like that, copy the entire source code of the allakhazam page you are viewing and post it here, Illia will be able to figure out which ad is doing it from that.

In the mean time, just in case, can you run ad-aware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com to make sure you don't have any extra pop up loading software installed. Thanks!

Yes please copy the source code for it and tell me what the ad looked like. A couple people have mentioned an ad like that running on the site, but despite refreshing the ads hundreds of times I can't duplicate it. I have to know which advertiser is sending it in order to block it.
