I was alerted yesterday to a problem that apparently has been around for
quite some time, although I was unaware of it (I wish folks had told me
before). When some users access my blog they are bombarded with popup
ads. As I've never seen these, I'm having trouble solving this.
If anyone is willing to work though a series of tests with me offlist,
I'd appreciate it.
The blog is at http://ampersandvirgule.blogspot.com/. If you do NOT see
a popup when you visit it, you probably can't help me. I'm looking for
victims of the popups who can tell me when something I try makes the
symptom goes away.
