    POP UP's

     



    Is anyone else having issues with the number of Pop Up Ads that show up as one navigates CHR? Seriously? It's like every screen change brings up a totally unrelated Pop Up, trying to get me to click a button that takes me to Never Never Land!! Surely I'm not the only one experiencing this new level of enjoyment? If I'm alone then count your Blessings!!

    You won't like the answer, Brent has not updated anything on the CHR server in years, making this is not a server issue at CHR, but a local issue on your computer.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    I get it occasionally when going from log in page to forums page, not any other navigations and not consistently.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    CCleaner Pro and Malwarebytes for me. I ran CCleaner and it cleared the junk files, then ran the Performance Check, and it updated 12 drivers. Malwarebytes quarantined 10 threats. Also found a "new" AI Ap on the toolbar, and turned off all of it's features. Hopefully it will help!

    Thanks for the quick reply, Bill!

    I believe I found at least one of the problems! About a month ago I was trying to find the instructions for a digital hose end irrigation timer that I have, and I downloaded what I thought was the manual, but was in fact an "app" extension on MicroSoft Edge that grabs ads based on browsing history (I think). Regardless, I turned the app OFF and blocked their extension, hoping that it eliminates the issue.
    I also found that my Ad Blocker Plus had been turned OFF, perhaps by the Manuals App, and I turned it back ON.
