WTF is with the InsightExpress.com pop-ups from hell!

Anyone else get this? Pop-up madness when a certain banner ad is being displayed, takes you to some infernal baseball trivia contest/survey or something at insightexpress.com.

I went away from my computer for a minute and there were like 30 of these pop-up windows!

I haven't gotten any popups and I haven't been a subscriber for months...

Have you done a Ad-aware check in a while? Could be other things going on here. I can't imagine Anand allowing popup adds to start.

heh, I just formatted my system and installed Win98SE full. There's nothing on my system. It was a banner ad for insightexpress.com. The banner even matched the pop-up.

Use Mozilla or one of the numerous popup killers for IE. Problem solved.

the only one i have a gripe with is that dumb dogpile one... it keeps on bring up some dumb JIT debugging prompt.

Please notify me directly if you see any popup banners on AT. Sometimes 24-7 includes them in their traffic stream (thats the super-cool abroller banner on the bottom).

AT does not directly serve any pop-up banners.
