Starting about 2 weeks ago I began getting ad pop-ups on the SDMB. It started with just one, but now it’s several … upwards of 4-5 at a time. Why is this all of a sudden happening and is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Is there something I can do to make it stop? HELP !

The correct place for this thread would be the About This Message Board forum, and as it happens, there’s already [an active thread on it there.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=814579)
Since there is such a thread, I’m going to close this one rather than moving it, and direct the discussion to that one.
