Let me know if that works, otherwise, there are others to try too. Is your firewall on?

Post by: JKEEN33 on March 25, 2014, 08:20:53 PM: I was having the same issue about a month ago. Go to your list of programs and check the recently added. I do not remember the name, but once I deleted the added program the problem was resolved. It's not a virus so you will not catch it by scanning. I had downloaded some software for photo editing and this was attached. I had the pop ups on this site only. Hope this works for you.

Post by: danderson on March 26, 2014, 06:45:40 AM: Thanks Guys, all is good today thanks to TJs link, I think the issue was in some photo editing programs I downloaded, I still haven't found a good water mark program

Do you know what you downloaded that this was attached to? I think mine came from the go pro editing program. I didn't try the malware. Good to know it worked. I ran several tools trying to find the issue before I found the problem myself.

Post by: danderson on March 27, 2014, 06:38:26 AM: I'm not exactly sure witch program contained the bug, I down loaded a few different free photo editing programs, I deleted all but one U mark, that one works but its nothing special, cant get images to load, just lettering, all I need is a decent water mark for my pictures
