    Pop up ads

    All of a sudden I'm getting pop up video ads on PE! Am I alone(meaning there is some malware issue) or is this a new thing on PE?

    Do you not have an adblocker for your browser? This is a must, IMO.

    I don't get any ads on Progressive Ears, period. Video or otherwise.
    If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

    I'm using the latest firefox and I've wondered if they've sold out to the advertisers as I'm plagued by popups that adblocker doesn't block...

    I'm using Safari and have no pop-ups showing up on PE.

    You almost certainly have Malware on your machine that is popping up ads on its own, regardless of what sites you're visiting. Download AdAware, Malwarebytes and Spybot if you haven't already and get to work...

    The words video ads has turned green and if I slide my cursor over it, up pops a small ad with a button (click to continue by Savings Addon )

    No, it is not.

    Go to adblock.com and install their product. It's free.

    I had this a few monthes ago. Some of the ads were conected to uni-suite.com . Google uni-suite popups if you need info. Its really difficult to get rid oof. Adware,spybot etc couldnt do it. It took Norton Live Aid 4 times @ 3 hours per shot to do it. It ended up popping up on every new page loaded. Do not ever click on it even by accident. The next phase is even worse. I got it down loading the software for Amazon Cloud. F'n annoying. The laptop was never the same.
