I do not like to install more then I have too, I have tried to stop this Congratulations pop-up in internet explorer and mozilla, and for every page I open in HWA I have to close this pop-up down, I am getting a bit fed-up with this and I will try every day to see if it pops up and if it does I will pop-out.

All the best Jim

Looks to me like you might have some kind of spyware running. You should not, AFAIK, be getting pop-ups from HWA.

If you don't have Ad-aware and Spybopt S&D installed, you should have - they're both free, small-footprint apps that do not run on startup. I recommend them to anyone who uses the Internet.

I know you don't want to install more apps, but these two really are a must...

i got that annoying pop up too and grrr i wana kill it

Im gettin it too and spybot and adaware arnt showing anything.

David.

I run Ad-aware every other day, I run Norton cleansweep, I have a short-cut to my Cookies folder on my desktop so I can go and get rid of them, I have just put all my Security to high in Internet Explorer, and I am not getting it now at the moment, will see if this slows down my browsing.

Jim

hey ive seen it before also and it isnt spyware, its something on this website causing it, its an illegal popup on here anyway.

I've never seen it before. Could you guys take some screenshots?

google toolbar blocks it, but i know the one

weird thing is it has gone now, myabe it only is around at certain time i will get a screenshot when it pops up again

Mohawk: If it isn't to much trouble could you please send me a PM with a link to the screenshot if you run across it again?

yeah no problems, just gotta wait for it rear its ugly head again

I had it 20 times about 6:30 UK time and this was the only site I was looking at. It isn't doing it at the moment though although it is not the first time it has happend!

Oh and I do use Adaware and Spybot and have my Zonealarm settings to max so it isn't something on my system (I also get it at work sometimes as well!)

not looking on the task bar this morning, but afer looking at a few pages it was opet about ten time when i saw it, and every time it pop up on a new page, I have put all my security back to default and all is clear now, will see tomorrow.

Jim

Your guys systems sound like they may not be secure. Are you running Spyware Blaster, Spybot, and an updated version of Mozilla Firefox?

INstall XPSP2 its got a pop up blocker,

I only get that true pop up or IQ pop up well I did, dont get it no more.

Some buggers put a price search on the the site as well... It not that but they missed my ste off LOL

Before anyone asks.. its in the content box!

Yes, Rory's right. If you haven't already downloaded and installed SP2 I highly recommend you do so.

im not going to install sp2 until they sort some of the gaming bugs out, also i dont want to reformat yet and its best to install sp2 onto a fresh copy of xp

And I have a fresh install of XP but there is no way I am going to SP it, there are too many problems in my opinion, anyway, they are still maintaining SP1, you just need to know where to look!

That popup thing is back again however, it is in the main window this time, I have done a screen print that I can email over if you want!

here one for you peeps to see http://img12.exs.cx/img12/7752/winner2.jpg

Firefox is closing pop-ups on HWA.
