Re: Pop ups going to adgardener.com

If I can't fix it with IE or by finding it myself, I'll try chrome.
I'm fairly happy with FF so I doubt I'll hand over any more of my
digital real estate to google than I have to. They already know more
about me than my mom and dad ever did....

Since firefox is hosed, you might try a different browser.  Of course there
is the evil MSIE which is already on your machine.  If you are still blocked
from the good sites, try Google Chrome.  It doesnt allow add in's at all so
might still work.  http://www.google.com/chrome
I really like Chrome and use it as my primary with Firefox for stuff that
wants plugins or a specific browser.

Is anyone else having issues with pop up windows going to adgardener.com?

I'm using Firefox and have all the ad blockers and pop up blockers
active, and usually don't have any popup issues except for the
occasional netflix popup.  I have them open in a new tab instead of a
window.

Earlier this week, I had a problem - the browser would spawn 4 or 5
tabs, all to addresses such as

http://harvest577.adgardener.com/....
http://harvest578.adgardener.com/....
http://harvest579.adgardener.com/....

with each tab having a different number next to harvest.  The contents
of each tab are blank.   I close the tabs, but about every 5 minutes,
they return.   I close Firefox and delete cookies, but they still come
back the next time I fire it up.

I ran ccleaner, adaware and spybot and one of them fixed the problem,
but now they're back.

They seem to spawn automatically - I'm not browsing at the time - so
it seems to be a timed thing.

thanks,

Rick
