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 🙂
