OK - we sell space to a company that does the popups. We can disable certain ones though but I've never gotten it. can you post a screenshot of the winfixer one?
Something wrong with your computer .Download Google toolbar (has a very good pop up blocker),Update and run you antivirus and antispy software.For sure you dont have some of these. I dont get a pop up ever.Not on sherdog ,not on other sites.OroborO said:Is it just me or does sherdog.com bring up alot of pop ups for people. Once I click on a post to read I get a pop up telling me my computer is infected, download winfixer. Is is just my computer that has poor pop up blockers or does this happen to other people. I browse the web all day and when I come to Sherdog it only happens here, whats the deal?
This relates to MMA because I am talking about the Sherdog website in general and love this site, but these pop ups are really messing up my computer. Is this is the wrong section, sorry and can a mod please move it, thanks.

I use mozilla under linux and it has a built-in popup blocker
AND SHERDOG IS THE ONLY WEBSITE WHERE I GET POPUPS ( for a couple a couple of days )
so it means it's pretty aggressive
juggo said:Get a real browser like FireFox or even Opera. Should take care of pop-ups and any other ads that aren't actually in the page itself.
John Creed said:Bingo. If you're naive enough to use internet explorer even after being recommended to use Firefox or Opera than you deserve to see the popups.
BTW -- these popups are NOT messing up your computer. They are a minor annoyance but they also allow Sherdog to earn money from this website which we all enjoy for free.

In the space it took me to write one post I just had that fucker pop up 11 times.
I had to re-write the message as the entire window closed on the 9th time I clicked the cancel button on the fucker.
that is far more than minor.
