I have run spybot and I had it remove 40+ spy related stuff, but I'm still getting popups from neowin. Its coming from webpdp.gator.com

Yes... we all are...

but you have Firefox and you seem like a smart dude - just block them
same as if you are on Opera, just block them...

sorry for you if you are still with I.E.

We are aware of the problem and have been for 2 days now. Please be patient as we track it down specifically and work with our ad providors to eliminate the popup. Trust me, this is the last thing we wish to have forced upon our members.

We are?

No pop-ups for me, glad I use IE. Pity the Fox.

i was getting some the other day with firefox but not now

Hope you guys get it fixed soon, good thing I have pop up blockers enabled. But I still display the banner ads.

I use IE and I have popup blocker on and I don't get no popups from Neowin...

I don't get the pop up but I get the notice from Firefox, saying to blocked a pop up.

Firefox 1.0
Linux

I get the popups.

IE 6.0, XP SP2

no popups for me. not even a warning about popups. nothing.

using firefox, I never get pop-ups. But then again with IE, I rarely had any problems with popups either. Still though Firefox is great, it is just so fast, and has so many third-party extensions and themes.

no problems with IE and xp sp2

No popups, only messages saying they were blocked...

I'm getting no notice about blocked popups either.... strange

I get no pop ups at all never did once.. Firefox here.

no popups, and no notice either and i use IE 6.0 and firefox

no popups w/ both IE and FF

I don't get that pop-up

Obviously random, I mean nobody has died have they? Let's just let the issue drop and live out lives as its been noticed now and its being worked on

gotta love 'em pop up blockers.

I get no popups on both IE and Fx.

i'm using ie and i'm NOT getting popups

It looks like this issue has came back.

The link the banner at the top of the page was pointing to

Not for me.

I've never seen a pop up from neowin

Ok lets not go through this whole "I don't get them" or "I get them on FF" stuff again. The popups more then likely are coming from a certain banner advertisement. Not everyone gets this advertisement everytime they go to neowin. They may never get the advertisement depending on how the add scheme is set up.

I posted just to notify the mods, admins, and coderators (can't leave them out). Not to start a discussion about who gets them and who doesn't and also with what browser they use.

i got a popup earlier also.

Got one a little while ago, no idea what it was becuase it was blocked.

You have gator on your "spyware ridden computer". Look for it.

Edit: Atleast thats where the portal is coming from.

The portal is coming from Gator but there is no trace of Gator on my computer. It is coming from a add on the page. This has happened before and the admins fixed it.

I posted this here to give the admins the info they needed to look into it. I am not complaing about it but would like them to know it is still happening.

Just in case it matters at this point, I also just got the popup from the very same blinking banner ad at the top. I'm not really upset or anything, because I know it's not Neowin's fault. I'm mostly saying it just in case anything is being done about it to say that it is still coming up once in a while. I got it twice in the last week. That is all.

No popups for me and I allow them on neowin.

I have got the same popup 3 times in the last 2 days. firefox blocked them, so I'm not worried about it. the ad wants you to claim a prize for being a "winner".

I finally had the flashing "Winner" ad come. The ad is a popup for gator.com. The ad is coming from http://ak.maxserving.com/images/905/c100.gif
