Pop up ads?

[tylerrrr]

Whenever I go onto a proboards site that has ads. an ad opens up in a new tab.
It's always the same ad. which is 'GoodGame Empire' and sometimes 'Master Lottery'

At first I thought it was a virus, until I scanned my computer and it came up clean.
It only happens when these particular ads. are up on the proboards site/s.
It has become quite a nuisance.

Is there a way to make it stop?

Greetings,

ProBoards does not allow these kinds of ads. In case this is a particular ad that slipped past PB, you can press CTRL-ALT-R when the ad appears to report it.

I reported it.

I just want it to stop. >.<

[RedBassett]

As I noted above, ProBoards does not allow these types of ads. If the ad is in fact causing the issue, PB will remove it.

[tylerrrr]

oh, okay. I see.
thank you for your help (:

[RedBassett]

Welcome, and good luck.

Its for Good Game Empire.

As mentioned above, have you submitted a report about the ad?

I too am experiencing the same annoying Goodgame Empire popups. I am not a regular user of this forum, but I did create an account to report this. Please advise.

Hi, 

If you can, please get a screenshot of the ad and then use our ad-report tool by pressing CTRL + ALT + R on your keyboard (the ad-report form will appear in place of the ads on the forum). Fill out the form and submit it and this will go to our ad team. The more reports they are able to receive about this particular ad, the easier it will be for them to track it down to get every instance of it removed

I've got the same problem on an other board (not a ProBoard site). Enless opening of new browser tabs in Firefox.

Still do not no wether this is a virus or an agressive affiliate ad.

I too have been having this goodgamestudios popup occurring since 17th Dec on the forum: vintagecaravans.proboards.com/index.cgi? When it first occurred, it popped up 53 times while I was trying to compose a post on that forum. On another occasion a couple of days later, it popped up 30 times. It's a randomly occurring popup - sometimes it doesn't show, and other times it pops up only a couple of times, and sometimes it rapidly multiplies. Not everybody on the forum is experiencing these popups, only myself and two others so far. I don't understand why it doesn't affect everybody, or why it only occurs on my computer randomly. It only occurs when I connect to the Vintagecaravans forum, not whenever I connect to other websites. Here is a screen grab of the popup:



I've used four different types of software to search my computer for any "nasties", and none have been found, so this popup must be generated by something in the forum itself, but I have no idea how that happens.
Hope you can help me get rid of it.
Thankyou...
