Pop up menace on TOTV
 
is anybody else being haunted by this pop up while on TOTV:

Codec Performer | Free Download

It comes up almost every single page change while visiting TOTV and only on TOTV.

Just started yesterday and today it is far, FAR beyond annoying.

Is there a way to block a site like this?

I have not had it happen. Maybe you clicked on a link somewhere?

renielarson 03-13-2014 06:53 PM

This isn't happening to me.

This is Malware and you need to remove it.

The “Please Install Codec Performer Update” pop-ups happens regardless of the web browser or search engine, and if you are seeing this ad whenever you are doing a Google search or visiting a website, then your computer may be infected with adware or a potentially unwanted program.
This infection is designed specifically to make money. It generates web traffic, collects sales leads for other dubious sites, and will display advertisements and sponsored links within your web browser.

Not happening to me either. But I'm not going to click on the link, for fear that I'll be downloading something that I don't want. Thanks but no thanks. Hope you get rid of it.

I had this happen last year. I found out it was this annoying site that installed itself on my computer. I got rid of it and never had another problem.
It's problem something that you have on your computer.

We aren't running any pop ups on the site. We also have not had other reports of this so it is likely as suggested malware.

I did use the link provided. It was not a program or malware on the computer.
It was somehow in the Firefox browser and a simple Firefox reset, per the link supplied, eliminated the problem.
Thanx to all.

My computer was getting some popups and I did a complete scan and restored it to an earlier time. It was a Trojan and another evil bug.

Man, I'm feeling left out here...

My MacBook hasn't had any viruses, trojan horses, pop ups, malware, etc. in 7 years.... :icon_wink:

Good to have a Mac!!!

My computer hasn't had any either but I never open up any links,, even on sites that I trust cause I never trust links. Just my little hangup but so far it works,,, no viruses.

Nope. However, does anyone have a clue to what this means?
"Tapatalk detected. Is undefined."

It's very annoying and pops up constantly , only on TOTV, so much so, I have ceased to go to the site as often as previously.

It asks you if you want to cease looking at script on "this page".
I'm not looking at the moment, but it's "Yes", "NO" or click the "x" at the top. I've tried all three to no avail. It just keeps popping back up, making the posts beneath it unreadable.........it's like blocking the posts.

I've never heard of TAPATALK before. Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

p.s. I 've restored my computer to earlier times (several times already), and done everything else I can think of. Can't get rid of tapatalk comment.

I have seen a tapatalk app on my phone.
You have something that has downloaded itself on your computer.
Click on your computer where you can uninstall a program and look at the list. You might be able to find something there and you can uninstall it.

Once you switch to a Mac you will never go back to a PC. I have both and hate using my PC but have to for business.
