Full Screen Advertisements???

Saturday, July 2, 2016 by LightStar | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Why am I getting full screen advertisements for Best Buy when I open my browser first thing the morning? I really do not appreciate it as the ad comes up and you cannot do anything with it, close it, nothing except click it and go to the Best Buy site. Only other thing I can do is close and reopen my browser. It stops after that for the day, which tells me the ad is using cookies to know it has shown the ad once, which tells me it is being forced.

This is happening to others also, I have asked. So please, stop it Stardock. Oh wait, I forgot... I guess I will have to put up with it for the next 10 days or so, as there is no one at Stardock.

I already have it installed Doc. Doesn't help in this case. 

 

It is also occurring in Chrome and IE.

No script.  Install on the browser of your choice, no popups ever again.

I've been getting it too...I thought maybe it was a malware thing, but good to know other people have been getting it here also.

NoScript will prevent commenting in Galleries.

Unless you allow, I think it is "share this", which allows you to comment here. (edit: it's a ghostery tick)

I've been using NoScript for years and never had a problem commenting anywhere or with popups. You pretty much have to teach it what to allow and what not. Adblock Plus as well.
