what's with the pop ups at google?

[KiddyKong]

go to google.com, and 2 very annoying pop-up windows will display. this is ironic because on google's front page is a big link that says "google does not display pop-up advertising" what the heck?

You propably have vx2 type spyware on your comp, it causes it, not google. Search for vx2.dll and delete if found, also get Ad-Aware.

Yup, Google is popup add free. You must have some sort of spyware software lurking on your machine.

 

[gopunk]

well you should probably read that page that is linked to

 

[moshquerade]

don't googles always pop up?

 

[jjones]

you have spyware. get rid of it.

 

Get adaware now. I had the same problem and everyone thought I was crazy.

It wouldn't surprise me.

I'm going to check out that adaware right now. I've been using PopUp Killer, and it works great!
