I'm not sure if I'm the only here that is really pissed off about this or not, but this is the only website that I keep getting pop up's from. I have pop up blocker installed and yahoo blocker both, however when ever I'm on this site (and only this site) do I get the same pop up's over and over. Am I the only one?

Its called the profit master....

I don't get any. Try scanning your computers for malware. It sounds like you have gotten something on your computer. Have you downloaded anything lately? Free downloads often come with a payload...*S*
unclejesse
never got a single pop up on MMG.

It sounds like you have some adware installed on your computers.

shoeb
No popup ever either.

Adaware doesn't find everything, but adaware and spybot search and destroy combined do wonders! You can look for spybot at download.com

It's a really nice piece of software, and I highly recommend it to anyone with an internet connection! biggrin.gif

No popups here, but you should try the following adware protection programs to see if they help at all.

SpyBot - http://www.spybot.info
AdAware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware

Both programs allow their adware definitions to be updated to ensure that you are protected from the latest threats so make sure you keep them updated. There's also no harm in using both SpyBot and AdAware - this gives you greater protection since there will be adware that one detects and one doesn't and vice-versa.

You could also try another browser. If you're using Internet Explorer give Mozilla Firefox a try. You can download it from http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox. That might help if you've got some adware that messes about with the way IE works.

Hope the above helps. I don't think the problem is related to MMG as such, but some adware is context sensitive so you're only getting the Profit Master popup here because you're reading a site about making money.

well you all must be right, it must be mine then.... I use
spyblaster, spybot, and adaware6.0
along with yahoo pop up blocker and aol pop up and it still pops up...
I have wiped out my cookies, cleaned my temp files... still getting it about every 5 minutes and only when I'm here at MMG.. never had it happen in the past though.. oh well.. thanks guys

MMG does not have popups and will never have popups smile.gif Im sure you must have some sort of spyware. Also if you use AIM, if you move your mouse over that ad on the top of your buddy list, it will cause a popup.
