Default This site causing SAVE NOW pop ups!!!

I stopped coming here for a few months, then when I started coming back all of a sudden I get a ton of 'SAVE NOW' pop ups when I am on this site and a few when I am off of this site. Anyone else have this problem?
How do I get rid of them with out downloading a pop up blocker? My husband has one of those on his computer and it is a pain it's self. They add tool bars to your browsers and are annoying. I have never had pop up's before on my computer till now. And they are only this 'SAVE NOW' with a green $ in front of it.

Thanks

We don't have those "Save now" popups, so it's very likely your computer has some "spyware" from downloaded software. Download adaware utility to clean up any spyware:

Oh man - savenow is a nasty one! I second adaware - your chin will hit the floor when you see how it's embedded itself into your computer. Run it every time you install freeware or other downloaded software - that's where savenow comes from.
