I mean a pop-up is punch-worthy enough, but to have that smug git's face looming at me every time I wish to read my fellow idiots' views on stuff just takes the biscuit!

This one specifically Viscount as for some reason it was the only pop up on the entire internet evading my blocker. I blocked it using the Norton 360 software, I'm not sure if you have it but if you do just look in the pc security section of it and enter the adress that appears at the top of the advert when it pops up, and it never lets it appear again.

That's about how many times that this pop up has appeared over the last 2 weeks. I do my bit for charity as and when, but this annoys me as much as newbies coming on here to flog something.

If you are all struggling to block it something you could try is going into control panel on your pc (this is assuming you are running windows) click on 'network and internet connections' and then on the 'internet options' icon. Then go to the security tab, click on the restricted sites icon and then click on 'sites' and add the adress that is at the top of the pop up to this list. I have blcoked repetitive pop ups in this way before but have also unsuccessfully tried it. You never know it might work. You may need to make sure that under the custom level security settings for this the 'allow websites to open without adress or status bar' option is disabled. I think the standard settings for everythnig in the restricted site section is diabled anyway though.

I'm not promising anything but if you are desperate and don't have any other means if stopping it, this may be worth a try.

I can't stop this bl**dy thing. I tried the route eagle suggested and put it in the restricted sites but now it still appears at times though only the frame so at least I don't get the smug git.

Every time we log onto the GM forum we have his ugly mug pop up! I have loads of pop up blockers etc on my computer but he still manages to do it!
