Default Popup Links Just got Worse

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.. it got uglier. Now you get a full blow picture with it along with the insignificant jabbers. I'm gonna misspell every friggin word from now on such as tirez, toyotaa, nizzan etc.

p.sz. eye rekommend dat every1 due duh zame.

You can protect against that by doing a bunch of stuff. Enable your firewall is the first thing. You can also go to your Internet security settings and block pop-ups. You also likely have spyware installed. The best software in my opinion are the microsoft antispyware, spybot and adaware. All are free.

I'm not getting any popups and I'm not blocking them. Do you mean when you type an ad keyword like Nissan or wheels? The green underline has pics now?

Edit: Yeah, that's what he means. Just skillfully move your mouse around and not touch anything green. It's almost like a game.

Yeah, this is really getting out of hand. Do Premier Members have to deal with this too? If not, I'm definately upgrading. Plus I've been meaning to anyways, and this just gives me more reason to!

Firefox, no worries. Best thing I've done in a long time. IE sucks.

No green lines for me. Download it and try it out, what's the worst that can happen? You'll fall in love with the features, you'll never go back to IE.

BTW, it's free.

Safari is 5 times faster than all other browsers. Make the switch.

Premier Members don't see them, regardless of the browser they are using.
