How to stop the goddamned Netflix pop-ups?
Posted: Thu Dec 10, 2009 2:08 pm
Serious question here, using Firefox. This happens both on the Mac and PC. I have all pop-ups blocked, and, occasionally, mostly on news sites, Netflix pop-ups (or, more often, pop-unders) appear anyway.
I searched for this, and it appears to be a pretty common issue, as an awful lot of people are reporting it. However, every time I find someone reporting it, no one seems to believe them, and says it must be malware. I scan regularly, and there's none. (I'm not even sure how much malware exists for the Mac, to be honest.)
So, obviously, I'm not the only person this happens to. It bugs the shit out of me. Anyone have any real info on this?
