Has anyone experienced the links on the Homestar Runner site leading to some internet directory? I can't go anywhere now without these ads and I can't block them because they appear as part of the site until it asks if you want it to go away. Here's a picture... Image It will go away eventually but its annoying and I want to know if anyone else has this problem all the time?

The only pop ups I've seen are the email, and the ones in the Virus home page.

Nope! Never had a problem with pop ups on H*R. With the exception of "Virus" of course XD

Popups can be a sign of spyware on your computer however...if it continues, I'd consider checking in on that.

Hey, I just made a comment in a talk page and when I closed the page, 29 copies of the page opened.

Yeah, that sounds like adware or worse. You should have that looked at soon.

You could try running an antivirus and antispyware program. Or just uninstall your browser, then reinstall it.
