SecretAgentMan Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 This message has popped up frequently over the past four to five days whenever I click a link on the Neowin website. This only happens while using IE 11 but Firefox works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Veteran Posted April 24, 2016 Veteran Share Posted April 24, 2016 Can you provide an example of a page where this is happening? Or is it just on every page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretAgentMan Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Once I am on the Neowin website it can happen at anytime. Clicking on articles on the Frontpage or just browsing in the forums can cause this message to pop-up. Once I leave the website this message no longer pops up.

neufuse Veteran Posted April 25, 2016 Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2016 yeah I was getting this just clicking around the site or if I tried to close the browser..... while logged in (not sure about not logged in) haven't seen it today yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neufuse Veteran Posted April 26, 2016 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) btw while I was watching the network monitor trying to figure out what was going on, just sitting idle on neowin is using up 0.64MB of network bandwidth about once per minute hundreds of ad connections and downloads (during the time I'm on, not at once)...... This screen shot was just 1 minute of idle time not doing anything, every minute this happens again and again Edited April 26, 2016 by neufuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted April 28, 2016 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm still getting this alert box as of today, HOWEVER! I just got this same thing on a completely unrelated site that was covered with similar ads to neowin's site... not sure how to debug this since you can't break into the debugger when a modal window is showing ugh..... it's 99% likely it's an ad provider doing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted April 30, 2016 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2016 more detail, every time this happens it's AdChoices ad's and the ad is an ad for Dyson vacuums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretAgentMan Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Dyson ads still causing this to happen for me. No other ads that I have noticed so far cause this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
