Nope. Not this site.
You've picked up some malware. You need some good anti-spy, anti-malware programs.:024:

I dd notice this past week that was an ad on TOTV, that if you ran your mouse over it accidentally, it popped up an ad. I think it was for some kind of a razor. Rather annoying, but seems to be gone now.

I would run the free version of malwarebytes. Its a great program. You can download it from cnet.com.

In addition to downloading the free "malwarebytes" through Google, I would check your managed add-ons, to see if something is attached to your PC, that you don't need to run.

My pop-ups stopped when I disabled he extraneous web sites, in the managed add-ons.

Do you only get pop-ups, only when on TOTV?

No pop ups here.

I'm still working on getting rid of ours. I've tried everything suggested so now my last 2 options are my golf clubs or 12 gauge. Any time a balloon pops is not good news:loco:
