This has been happening when viewing the photo critique thread in Firefox. Window closes, alert box opens telling me that my PC is infected/needs repair etc. Hitting cancel brings up the above page.
Please stop these morons. Thanks.

This is ridiculous. These nasty pop-ups have been hitting me now for 2 days in Safari. I am going to stop coming here until they fix it as it keeps messing things up.

I just got 2 in a row visiting the lounge just now. It actually takes you away from MacNN and loads 3 popups screens, resizes your window and when you close it it does it again.
This is extremely annoying that it happens on MacNN as this doesn't' happen to me anywhere else on the net and 2 days later nobody seems to be doing much about it.

I haven't noticed it at all, but then again I'm using ad blockers on all of my browsers.

But these are only temporary solutions. MacNN needs to fix this problem quick.

Correction: Our ADVERTISERS have to correct this quick. We have this in our sights, but we sell that ad space and it's up to the people who fill that space to not be jerks. Like they are with this crap. Consider this issue "in work." Hopefully that will mean that we'll have the stuff corrected shortly.
If anyone gets this particular annoyance again, please provide what link you clicked on and the time of day (give it to us in GMT/London time if possible, with reference to your local time zone otherwise), so we can figure out which particular ad placer is placing the annoying and out-of-context ad.
