The last couple weeks I have been getting pop up ads with audio in the lower right hand corner; lately it’s been for Swiffer. I am not mousing over anything, they appear as soon as I open a new board- Cafe Society, MPTIMS, ets. There is an X in the corner of the pop up as if that would close it, but if I click on it, it gets bigger, just a plain black box, and it WILL NOT go away unless I close out on SDMB all together.

I have pop ups blocked on my computer and this is the only place I have this problem.

It’s probably that spam link in your profile.
