There are some ads that are very evil! You thought you see a webpage with an alarming message, it has buttons like "cancel", "ok", etc. But the whole page was actually a picture and whatever "button" you clicked on meant "yes" - and that's how things got installed on your PC.

Glad you had someone there to help you out.

BURKELS --

It didn't appear to me that TONY MADS "suggested" that the pop-ups were the fault of SZ (or anyone else) only that he was seeing them while on this site. It can happen very easily when they are already in your computer. Maybe you could have been a little more helpful - rather than harsh - kinda like everyone else.

Oh right. Now it's my fault. If everyone learned how to write questions properly, we wouldn't have this kind of conversation at all. Again: He asked it we too had popups ON THIS SITE. He didn't ask how to get rid of popups on ANY site. That's where the misunderstanding started. Nice to see how people will respond days after someone else said the same thing, so I can re-write my answers over and over again, causing threads to get longer and longer for no reason at all.

By the way, I replied: "No. Synthzone.com does not have any popup. You got spyware/adware on your pc. Blame yourself, not Synthzone. (And rush to www.lavasoft.de to get yourself a nice free copy of AdAware :-)

Wow! That's harsh! I'm even the ONLY GUY here that gave him a direct LINK to the site where the solution to his problem was! Darn! Won't ever do that again! Terribly sorry to be too helpful, ehm.. harsh, I mean.

burkels ... I want you to know I hold NO hard feelings, and I appreciate the help you and others gave ... I think it was your statement "Blame yourself, not S-Z" that some, including myself felt was somewhat harsh, since as I said earlier, I didn't blame anyone, it was just coincidental that the pop-ups appeared on this site, and hardly at all on any other site ... I can't explain why, our in-house tech couldn't explain why, (except for ANY or ALL the reasons expressed above)..... it JUST HAPPENED !!!

vc .... thanks.....

to ALL: . Thanks again for all your help, ... it appears that (at least for now)the problem is over ... and as for me, so is this thread...let's go back to making beautiful music... and BTW .... my kb is better than yours!!!
