Pop up downloads, Not cool...

Z50 · 09-13-2007, 09:21 PM

I keep getting a pop up window when firefox asks how I want to down load "ads", a file from http\\ads.auctionads.com (I think thats how they spell it). It is only on this site so I don't think it is from a virus on my end. Is this a sanctioned thing or are they overstepping their bounds?

EDIT: it happened again when I posted this and I was able to correct the url and get this as the file type: application/x-httpd-php

Wierd I don't get any pop ups on any site with FoxFire.

Interesting... Their site must be completely screwed up or something.

Thanks for posting this. I got a report of it, but the ads were only seen by non-premium members. So that was harder to verify then I thought.

Hell, I forget about them to be honest.

I just killed them, and if that's the case (I.E., if THIS was on purpose by them) then they won't ever be seen again.

Ok.. looks like they're having an error on their end, and instead of the browser reading the php file and outputing the correct visual info, it's messed up and thinking it's something you're supposed to download.

No biggie... It'll be off until someone over there gets it figured out, or it just may not come back... I'll think on it. They have been a pain.

Don't tell Carter

I haven't been pulling my weight and paying my MCB bill so I am no longer a premium member... I guess I will get some $$ to you...
