deadpoet Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Recently a popunder has attached itself to my webpage. How do I get rid of it? Just to be clear, I type in my website address and then it opens, but an additional window opens up under my site. This is really annoying and I would appreciate any help at all. Thanks. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Does only you see this extra window or does any other of your users see it too? If yes, are you using any services that shows ads, thinking it might be them doing this. Is it only in your browser this extra window opens and is it when visiting any url or just your own? Have you checked for spywares? Quote
MikeJ Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Most likely it sounds like your machine has been infected with adware, and probably has nothing to do with your website. Grab Ad-aware (google for it, it's made by lavasoft) or similar "ad cleaning" tools to clean out your system with. Quote
