Pop-Up ads - Help?

[gabasa]

This afternoon I started getting pop up ads when I go into the TDPRI website. This keeps coming up within seconds:



Is anyone else having this issue? Would you happen to know a fix for it? It only happens on my computer with the TDPRI website, and I know it’s been a problem here in the past.

Mods? Are there any setting changes that can be made to avoid this?

Pay the $25 to go ad-free. It's worth it.

You don't have an Adblocker running on your machine? I do and I never get these kinds of problems. It's also good to scan (say) monthly for Malware etc etc

I use an adblocker. My suggestion would be to dump your cookies - so to speak...

Adblockers, hosts file, VPN or the like will help you get rid of this annoyance everywhere.

It does look like ad script coders have found a new way to inject sneaky redirects into Google ads again while evading some ad blocking. I had one of these redirects happen on my phone yesterday where there are fewer blocking options. Google was doing a good job of combating them for a while but it looks like they've gone back to letting them slip through.

Ad blocker for the win.

I just removed the out of date McAfee software from my computer. That alone sure helped sped up my computer. I got sick of all their popups.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I've never used an adblocker before because this has never been an issue for me. Perhaps it doesn't happen as much on a Mac. The ads were popping up when I used Firefox, so I switched to Chrome and the problem vanished. This made me think that perhaps my Firefox needed updating; I did just that and the problem vanished.

I guess that at the very least, we need our browsers up to date all the time.
