[QUOTE="HappyJoy, post: 1260522, member: 206531"] Does anyone else have problems with continuous pop-ups? I always get these random odd pop-ups that lock me up until I force quit and go back in. Meaning I can't click outside the box and continue what I was doing. Sometimes I can but sometimes I have to force quit to continue with what I was doing and it's a pain. For example a while back it was "Apple security alert" pop-up that read: To help protect your computer....detected Trojans ready to remove" with an option to Cancel or Remove all. I didn't trust it so I did neither but I could not use Firefox at all until I forced quit and went back in. It eventually went away. Now today I just signed up for Mac-Forums and I no sooner chose my password and I got a pop-up saying it's from mac-forum with a new private message. Sender: MF Welcome Bot. I didn't click OK to view or the Cancel option because I get sooooo many pop-ups I'm leery of even the legit ones! Just wondering if anyone else has this issue. I recently started using NoScript to try and cut down on this but so far haven't noticed a difference. Thanks for reading! [/QUOTE]
