More pop-ups?

[MrAnderson]

I just got a Bonzi Buddy popup and the only things I have running are my work programs (definitely not internet related) and Anandtech. Anyone else just get this?

 

[narzy]

nope none here, make sure you dont have bonzi buddie installed.

 

[shiznut123]

None here. Pop-ups are supposed to be gone

 

[Azraele]

None here either. Have you gotten it more than once?

Probably a cascading popup from the last porn site you visited. You have to click that X VERY quickly.

lol, looks like youve been to a few of those sites Russ in order to know that.

 

[Russ]

No, I've just heard about them. Actually, I run in them them a lot at free font and graphics sites. They've adopted the same damned, annoying strategy as porno sites. They are all linked to each other and use the cascading popups.

we had the same stupid popup problem at school;

1. make sure bonzibuddy.com is not your home page
2. fallow these steps and make sure it is not installed

How do I remove/uninstall the free version of BonziBUDDY?
It is a five-step process to remove BonziBUDDY. Please follow these instructions carefully.

• Click on Bonzi to open his menu screen and choose "Goodbye."
• Right click on the dollar sign icon next to your clock and choose "Exit."
• Go to Start > Programs > BonziBUDDY > Uninstall BonziBUDDY Bargain Hunting Tool. Allow the uninstall program to finish.
• Go to Start > Programs > BonziBUDDY > Uninstall BonziBUDDY. Allow the uninstall program to finish.
• Restart your computer.

Don't have it installed. I have never heard of it before. I am using a governament computer that is locked down pretty good and when I got the message I had just turned my computer on and went straight to Anandtech...oh well, haven't seen it today so no big deal
