Atleast I think it was called that. I'm usually to busy pressing "cancel" and "cancel" and "back" to get rid of the windows it changes to.

Please ban it from your selection of ads on the site. It is worse than a virus with minimizing my firefox, changing url to their site and then forcefully suggesting "YOU WANT IT RIGHT!?? - Yes, No" right in my face.

Infact if someone knew how they did it and just added a virus they could probably do some nice damage.

Ads top and right are fine, ads who minimize, change window, and give me pop ups are not.

Heck to be safe you should just ban every banner from any site with the word cleaner in it so I can have a more pleasent visit.

You know there are options in FF to disable just those very things right?

Still doesn't work, the placeholder for the adds are still there, its blocking half my screen, and I couldn't hit the quote button.

Click on the area for the placeholder, select Adblock frame/image/link, press ok and the placeholder will vanish. It still doesn't fix the problem with the ads in the top right corner though >.>

That is the site that opens itself and spams you windows. But yea, I could look into blocking them all instead. I mean why solve the root problem when 1 billion humans instead can turn on a setting.

Found it, sadly it only had the resize and move part that I could uncheck. You'd think they would have included a "allow java script to change page" or something.

Atleast now I'll only get "do you want to download it?" and automatically go to their site.
