Why am I being bombarded with pop up attempt's from this site in particular. I have to scan nightly to remove approximately 30 type's of spyware attempts and advertising tracking. Just wondering.

Re: pop up's
I don't have any problems running Firefox and Adblock Plus. I don't see any of the advertisements on the site (not a bad thing on my limited overseas bandwidth), and it has in the past saved me from some virus problems that tend to get hacked into advertisements.
I know ads is how the site makes money and I hate missing some of the discounts that only show up in the ad, but when you have IT Police that will cut you off if you use too much, you have to do something. If you're a site vendor just know that I and many others shop in the PX section, so don't forget to post the good deals up in there too!

First time I heard of this and people are usually pretty quick when something like this happens.
I will take a look, but nothing is flagging on my end

Re: pop up's
I just tried it with the pop up blockers off, and nothing, I got nothing out of the ordinary, no pop up windows, nothing, so either your computer is locally infected with something or I have the safest computer ever.
So, inorder to check this, I need something more specific, a screen shot or something because nothing is coming up.
