Pop ups all of a sudden? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

TTOSBT · 07-05-2009, 11:24 AM

Hi, today when I logged on and I click on a thread, I get a pop up for a search for drug rehabs and the sort. This has happened to me 4 times since logging on this morning. I have pop ups blocked on my browser. Somehow they are getting through and it is VERY annoying.
Not sure if this has to do with the upgrade but does anyone know why I would get pop ups from clicking on a thread??

Hi there

Can you give me a link to the specific thread? That sort of thing happens once in a while when some kind of hijack code sneaks into a post or a signature.

There has been a delay in the upgrade so we haven't upgraded yet.
It sounds like your browser was hijacked and it probably wasn't from here.

Try running this program and see if it catches it.
