A friend of mine claims that he gets popups on the main page of the Mega Man PC Website about 75% of the time. However, even after several reloads, I don\'t get any. Can you people please load the main page and tell me if you get a popup or not?

There\'s not supposed to be any kind of advertising on my site, besides the little mentions close to the hit counters. I suspect those to be responsible for the popups too, since it couldn\'t be anything else.

Nope I don\'t see anything ethier Dr.Cossack...Though even with my ad blocker off I don\'t get anytihng and I\'m on I.E....It could be something installed onto his computer like a adware or spyware for I had that and it generated a mysterious pop up with nothing on it..But as I said I get nothing.

Not a trace, I reloaded 30 times, and I\'m still not \"a winner\", can\'t play \"shoot the duck\", and don\'t need to know \"which one is nemo\". I\'d say its probably his computer, not the site.

(all of those are common popup ads, at least on my computer)

No pop-ups, no banner ads. That means that the page is pretty darn boring.

Adware, it download itself onto the computer. Get spybot search and destroy. Its not the Docs fault, it\'s your infected computers fault. Don\'t panic, everyone had SOME adware.

Some signs of spyware or Adware are.

1. Re occouring Pop ups (you see the same damn pop up on 8 different sites)

2. Changed Home Page (I don\'t want kiddie porn or a crazy search website!)

You should download Spybot search and destroy, or for quick removal, HiJackThis, BE CAREFUL, it also brings up WINDOWS COMPONENTS and other important stuff, use for only people who know what their after.

Double that with Spybot S & D.

Ad-Aware site
Spybot site

If you still got problems, PM me about Hijackthis.

BTW, I only got one popup on Firefox and that was it (I have this domain unblocked on it for the PM window)

Argh, once more, Adware downloads itself onto your computer, so nothing can stop it unless you delete it.

I have a shitload of adware and I still don\'t get pop-ups on the main page. They only appear when I first open IE, then go to ANY url. I did a little experiment when I saw this topic. Still nothing. He must have a different kind of Adware... Get Ad-Aware or SpySweeper. It kills them, but only till you restart the computer. Then they come back...

*bump*

A few months later, it turns out that the Bravenet people (who provide the hit counter) indeed added popups to help them to cover their costs. However, due to user complaints, those things have been removed recently. We shouldn\'t hear about that anymore.

To those who used to get popups: do you still get one while loading the main page? It shouldn\'t happen anymore, but I just want to make sure.

To flareman: that was a very bad joke, you know that?

To whoever reads: Try putting up your firewall, that usually works. Or even use an antivirus program. and as mentioned before, Spy bot S&D, works wonders. It prevents stuff getting inside (or deletes it) your system on average, so most of the ads wont get in, unless with in the code of the site that is (hacking the sites HTML)

Spybot DEletes practically EVERYTHINGcoming in, so it\'s no too good. It ABSORBS other virus detectors too. IT absorbs megabugs so it gets stronger. Over time. it can become like a digipet. Customizable depending on the bugs you get.
