I don't think that is the source of our problems, the cookies set by the pages that appeared didn't had that name.

The Pop-ups keep on poping-up (but they are blocked) in a fresh instalation of Windows Vista Pre-RC1, using Opera 9.

What is the min. system requirements for Vista. I know from Microsoft's website, but what are you running?
Does it seem pretty stable, fast, etc.

I don't want to try anything new right now until a stable product is availabe.

I'm getting the same problem as the original poster in the thread. Very annoying but there's nothing I can do as it's not my computer.

Im getting the SYSTEMDOCTOR scam popups still on my computer and ONLY at ATS! They don't happen all the time, so this makes me think its a random ad. I have run 5 free virus scanners and 4 free spyware scanners, hijake this and full versions of nortons and trend virus and spyware scanners. NONE of these picked up anything! If its on my computer its VERY VERY stealthy and I have not heard of such of a virus being so sneaky before. I have to assume this is something on ATS, where doesn't it show on anyother sites? I work in IT and visits LOTS of sites each day, ATS being one, and it only happens here.

Next time it happens, ill try and get an URL or something.

thought i had it beat but im still getting systemdoctor and only on ATS. Only pops up after ive surfed a couple of pages but its starting to really pee me off.

Anywhere else and i wouldnt put up with it.

EDIT TO ADD : [B]BINGO[/B] just happened again as i posted!!!!!!

Seems to me, as I stated somewhere earlier, an ad-server convenienently became infected. After receiving a JS error, I have been receiving well-placed as well as well-timed ads.
I'm not going to do a re-install (which I do approx. once per 2 months) until there is some evidence of this being corrected.

It seems XP is on the backburner now, with the impending release of Vista. I doubt there will be much in the way of effective security updates. (I'm not trying to start anything by stating this, only noting past behaviours).

I appreciate the effort, I run tools. I'm aware of standard protection.
I do not want to get into another patchit 'til they break it again war. It's too frustrating.
The ads are tolerable, right now.

Besides, the way my settings shift and exploits keep popping up on sites where they shouldn't indicates to me that someone at my ISP is having a little fun. (With all the stench from the mile high BS, it's really rather obvious).

Not to even begin to mention CNET, whom I believe is running behind a crowd of hackers with new tools (from guess where).
Every damn time I re-route my re-route to http, CNET pops up established. And I don't even have a browser open at the time!

These ad companies haven't resorted to these tactics for some time. I feel the need for another open-ended server with random port adaptation.
