For the past couple of weeks I've been getting this popup and I can't figure out where it's coming from. It says "opinion-central" and links to "insightexpressai".Anyone else getting this? Better still, anyone know what's causing it?It only happens on my company laptop - not my desktop nor my work desktop.I've found some ideas on Google on how to stop it, but I want to know the root cause to make sure I don't have some strange virus or trojan. I have McAfee virus protect (up to date) and Spybot S&D (up to date).

http://www.adaware.com That is the best popup remover. And get yourself Mozilla Firefox, it blocks popups.

ie7 and any mozilla based browser can block pop ups...OH that means safari!

Thanks for info. I downloaded/ran a full scan with AdAware - 2 items detected/cleaned. Hopefully that fixes it.BTW - I know I could stop the pop-ups with the browser pop-up blocker, but it's more important to me to get rid of the cause. If it happened on all my PCs I wouldn't have been concerned over it.Hopefully AdAware took care of it. Since it doesn't happen often (maybe once a day), I won't know for sure if it's gone for a few days.

Are you running IE??? If so, DUMP THAT CRAP.... get Mozzila Firefox like Welan said, you'll never open IE again....Yes, it's THAT good....

Or use Opera.Whichever way you go, toss M$IE aside and use a better browser.

if your running windows xp or vista get these freeware appsspyware guardspyware blasterccleanera squared freespyware terminatorwell thats all i can think of now , but with those first 2 help keep spyware and that stuff off the computer the rest scan for malware and spyware and remove it. Spyware terminator is a newer app but dont install its AV client, just spyware and it helps protect and scan/remove.

I have to use IE for work - corporate standard browser. I have/use Mozilla off and on for personal browsing.

I just got it while watching a video on CBS.com while using Firefox. They aren't that annoying anymore because they now started disappearing on theirown after a few seconds, but I just want to make sure there is no trojan or virus on my machine.Also to clearify, when I say "popup", I don't mean a browser popup...it's more like a hovering graphic popup. I think it's probably a script that's actually creating the ad so popup blockers on IE and Firefox don't stop it.I think I'd need the "Ad Blocker" and/or "NoScript" extensions loaded on Firefox to kill them, but those would prevent many legit web based applications from working properly.

I use Opera, Ad-Aware, Spybot & AVG. Never have a problem. :crosses fingers:
