Maybe the code is something like..check operating system for mac or windows, apply all popups to macs.

In which case I am sure the comments will be writen in Polish

Ha! Yeah, it's weird. I'm gonna keep an eye on those google ads for a while.

Well keep us posted. Those google ads have paid for the site to run for a full year so far after 4 months so keep clicking!!

No popups on this site for me other than pms of course. Good thing I'm using a PC.

There we go. Happened again. It popped up a long ass url that began with http://ads.kmpads.com/ipixel.htm?... after which it tried to download a .net page called trace.aspx.

That URL is for ads from the Kanoodle network which as far as I can tell are not part of the google ad system. We (well, Bart) would need to sign up for Kanoodle ads on our site in order to get such an ad. So I am thinking its not our site?

In fact Kanoodle is a google competitor who is basically doing the same thing google is. So it would be VERY surprising for a kanoodle ad to come up in our google ads. I would say almost impossible, that would be like a coke ad coming up on the pepsi page...

I use a Mac. I don't have spyware.

Heres the mac elitiest ******** i was talking about in that other thread What do you think that because you use a mac you are invincible to teh internet?

NEWSFLASH! Mac's have security flaws too!

Getting spyware on a mac is less common, but it happens.

You have to admit, it's pretty funny coming so close after a Mac/PC thread.

But in keeping with good fun - For uv23:

Re: Why does this site even have popups???

Actually, it is almost impossible to get spyware/viruses on Macs for several reasons:

1. People don't bother writing them for Macs for the most part.
2. MacOS X security is enormously better than Windows. You never run as an admin user in MacOS X and have to input your admin password to make changes to system level components.

Having said that, something is definitely wrong with your computer/browser Yuval. I, along with everyone else here, have never got a popup from this site. Post up screen shots when it happens again. Which browser are you using? Safari? Firefox?
