Default Media Fastclick Trojan Pop Ups

I don't know if this is happening to anyone else using this forum, but every time I open up the Canada forum I get Media Fastclick pop-ups advertising various things. It's so annoying. I have all the latest virus software and updates and have done several scans to try to locate it on my computer but it doesn't find the virus. Now I was wondering if it has anything to do with the Brits Expats Forum? ...... as it only happens when I log in to the Forum, not from any other site. It's not even the case that I always look at this site first. Does anyone else experience this or is it just me?

Thanks

I get that on some machines. Most have pop up stoppers but most of them pop up a message to say that the original pop up has been stopped which is hardly any better.

It is the BE forum, it has 1 popup message each time you access it. Nothing you can do about it.

Okay so it's part of the forum. Does it still happen if you pay extra and upgrade and if it does - what cheek!

I use Firefox as my web browser rather than Internet Explorer and don't get any pop-ups from any sites.

The is also an add-on to Firefox called Adblock that can be added after installation.

I don't pay extra and I don't have any pop-ups from here Try messing with your security settings in your browser - you should have a pop-up blocking option.
