sudden pop-ups, ads and spam

[EnglishMuffin]

Has anyone else suddenly experienced a lot of spam and pop-ups coming from this site? It seems like every time i click a new link to a page on this forum I get a pop-up asking me to fill out a survey or saying I'm this hours winner of $100,000 (I highly doubt the budget for this website stretches to those kinds of prizes!). Or sometimes an ad video will pop up and I can't close it until 15 seconds into the ad. It's really annoying!

Nope, not on my end. No problems at all.

Do you have 'pop ups' DISABLED?

 

[EnglishMuffin]

I do, and I've never had these problems on any website before today. It's possible that some other site I've visited today has installed malware and I'm just only noticing it now, that's why I ask. I want to see if it's me or the site!

I'm not noticing anything either, have you run a scan?

Clean your history and cookies. and run scan.

I fixed it now, it was some extension that had attached itself to my google chrome! Thanks
