Since ive been coming here i keep getting that drivecleaner popup now and then.
It's a window made to look like an internet explorer window telling me my pc aint safe etc and that i need to download some drivecleaner utility wich is infact spyware.
Ive tried some spyware cleaning programs but they couldn't find any so my next guess is it comes from some ad on this site ?
Btw the popup blockers i have don't stop it, if i click it away it keeps coming back, only thing stopping it is clicking it away and hit the stop button at the top of my screen before it comes back again.

Hmm I do not get any pop ups I have unwanted ones (ones you do not click on) blocked but I get a warning if one is blocked and do not seem to remember getting
them on WP. Then again I have inattentive ADHD which means if I really like what I'm doing I can hyperfocus on it and mentalily block the little warning windows I get.

See if your web browser has the pop-up blocker in it. I use Opera 9.02 .

I use the latest firefox, and it blocks all popups exept that one.
Tried adblock on a different computer were i got the popups too, and blocked any ad i could see on this site, that stopped the popup.
