Joined as a contributing member, because I am so impressed and pleased with the help and support this forum gives.

It was like a "bonus" when I read that by becoming a contributing member I would no longer get the pop up ads.

Well..............I am still getting them? Just wondered if others are also?

The only "pop-up" approved for our site is from Atkins official site. As a contributing member, you should not be getting these. If you're getting pop-ups, they're most likely to come from some program you've downloaded from the internet, such as a special toolbar, a program that's suposed to "speed up" your internet access, or some "ad blocker" software that blocks all other ads but their's

When you get such a pop-up, try to copy the url or website name where it's from, then post here. The webmaster can check it out.

Yep, these ads are not our site

Some software you install from the web, installs a lot of advertising, and tracking you surfing. It's called spyware.

To eliminate such spyware from your system, here's a free tool that should help you find and remove them:
