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.

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.
