Annoying ads

I hope I am the only one having this problem.
And don't get me wrong here, I am very grateful for the sponsors of this site. I can't go to sleep at night if I haven't visited two or three times a day and really appreciate the fact that it is a free site (thanks to the sponsors and owner) But, those crazy pop-up ads that come on here, make my computer quit loading the site. I almost always have to try two or three times to get the site to come up completely but am always successful in getting the ads.

Is this a problem everyone has? If it is just me, does anyone know how I can fix it?

You must have installed some software that causes that to happen. I-mesh file sharing software is notorious for causing ads to popup even after you uninstall the application.

I don't have any popup ads on this site. I rely on you guys to click on the sponsors if you want the information.

If you want, take a screen capture of your task manager (alt + "Print Screen") and email it too me. I might be able to figure out which program is causing the problem.

Email me at webmaster@msducks.com if you have any questions.

I have never had a pop up ad come up on this site. It must be something in your software.

Is that (LA) Landscape Architecture or Liquor Analysis? [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img](HUH??) [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]

Both, its a double major! One usually leads to the end of the other though... [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Never had a pop up on this site but there is some free software you can downlaod called Pop Up Stopper off the net. Only takes a couple of minutes to download, easy to turn on and off

Thanks, good to know I'm the only one with that problem. I can probably fix it or live with it. Which ever I get around to first.
