tried to log onto the free area today. but was greeted by mass pop-ups. Stop zilla could not stop them and In the end I had to switch off my router and stop the iexplore process before being able to continue to use the internet. I counted over 100 instances.
normally i can just block the pop up manually or SZ does it for me.

We don't use pop-ups so the problem must be elsewhere.

Yup - sorry to hear of your problem but not from here. It is site policy to try to ensure that all ads here are non invasive.

You really must use a good firewall and anti virus. It sounds like you may have aquired a trojan.

Update your anti-virus and get some ad-ware remover. Wink

I only get one or 2 pop ups each time i visit for the first time.

When you first enter simV on my dads work computer, a popup comes up that you can't click out of but you can press alt f4 or end task on the task manager.

One pop under in the free main page per session. No more.

You may wish to do adaware and spyware scans on your pc and do a virus scan whilst your at it, that should bring up any faults there
