i keep getting these pop-up ads whenever i look in threads on the forum. its got a picture of 3 laptops on it. this is increasingly annoying as its happening more often as time passes, and it happens even when i have my pop-up blocker on in safari. Confused

does anyone else find this extremely irritating, or am i an isolated case?

it's this site. http://www.consumersavingcentre.co.uk/?src=WC-73187aaa:82520:

and sometimes it just randomly pops up for no apparent reason at all....

You might want to get rid of safari and get a version of Firefox for your type of computer and install an ad-blocker such as Ad-Block Plus.

Your pop-up problem sounds like you have picked up some mal-ware.
Ask around in the Computers, Math, Science and Technology forum for help.

I've never had that issue with Safari, nor with either Mozilla browser (firefox or camino). I also haven't had the need to install any type of ad-blockers.
