Is this ad from Neowin?..


Recommended Posts

Just installed IE8 RC1 and I'm getting these pop-ups when browsing Neowin. It disappears as soon as I click anything else or scroll.

Is this due to Neowin or something else? Never had it before..

Yeah flash, they just suddenly appear while browsing and disappear as soon as I click anything or scroll the page. UK btw. Saying that, I haven't encountered them today.

I pulled up IE7 and didn't see any ads. I saw where they would go, but nothing inside of them. The damn "smart" text ads are still working though.

Maybe they're working on something?

It seems to be since I started using IE8 RC1 (not Beta 2), if that helps

Only seems to be happening on Neowin.

ive got these a few times with IE6 too, i dont think its a popup window as such i think its more of a toggled div or something like that because it doesnt have any borders..

wondered where it came from at first :p

the ads stay on screen until i click the little close button on the bottom corner for me.

I thought maybe I had some sort of adware program, but I've been getting these ads as well. And it started when I installed RC1 yesterday. It seems like it's targeting by region, because I'm getting Gatlinburg Resort and Nashville "Music City" ads as well.
