AArrrgh! It's like a menu bar, only.. It's a pop up!

I get this little menu that pops up EVERY SINGLE TIME I open up internet explorer. It has little buttons for sex, gambling, and other things that I really shouldn't be worry about right now. Mine comes with a little exit box at least, but it is so annoying. It freezes up my computer for 5 seconds and it just gets really annoying.

I don't see why companies would want to advertise with pop ups. If anything, I do the opposite and say "You made a pop-up window and annoyed me! I'm never buying anything from you!". I like the good old days when they were just banners up at the top of the window and DIDN"T move around and say things. I've even made a vow never to endorse that stuff if they use those damn annoying advertisements, just out of spite. :thumbup:

 

Right now I have pop-up windows enabled and I didn't get the one you mentioned DU. Perhaps it appears only with IE and I use Opera. Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like?

 

I got that, it had a close button that looked like my start menu (it had the windows symbol next to it) I also thought it was accidental resizement of my taskbar.

 

On an unrelated note, my computer keeps playing a phone ringing randomly.

It only stops when I restart.

What the hell is going on here?

 

Its one of the banners at the top. Goddamnit that makes me want to rip out those pixels and stomp on them :minigun:

But no :shootme:

 

YeY. you got my name in your screeny!!!

 

Thanks for that screenshot DU. Now that's one little bitch of a pop-up if I ever saw one.

I think that some legal regulations should be made so that there couldn't be links hidden under "close window" buttons.
