Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2004 Scratch that. It does affect others too... I have yet to see it. And to paraphrase Martha: That's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 It's Neowin man, the banner at the top is the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmak Administrators Posted March 30, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2004 There are two or three banners that do this. I'm trying to get rid of them but that's not as easy as I thought. As far as this banner goes. It only shows the popup when you move your mouse over it (at least it does that on my computer using IE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 noo it doesnt here I was just looking at Software news, and had that add. IE said "MS IE has blocked this page from installing software on your computer" Disable that company :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduardo Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks Redmark, but, you should tell the people who manage the ad space to filter this kind of ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoa Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 When I access Neowin at work I get those popups. At home I don't ever see them. Kerio PF4 (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
