from arvoicefive.com. don’t know if the advertisers are supposed to be doing popups or not.
Check your hard drive for spyware. Any decent browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome) has a built in popup blocker, but spyware can override those.
No spyware, popup blocker is working (it comes up and tells me it’s blocking the popup. Definitely coming from the straight dope webpage, not getting it anywhere else.
The ads here at the Straight Dope might be the trigger for the popup but unless you’ve encountered malware tucked into a seemingly legitimate ad – which has happened before – it’s not generated by us.
Anything you can tell us about what’s going on here would be appreciated.
