How to stop pop-up ads

OK, I've searched and read old posts in the forum to find an answer but without success so I hope someone can help.

This is on one of my older site which still uses 7.3 patched to 3.3 (not RavenNuke).

I have never installed any scripts to give pop-up ads but it seems that when someone posts in my forums they get a random pop-up ad coming from nowhere. Is this coming from my installation of phpnuke or is it something the surfer may have picked up in their browser/cookies?

How do I stop this from happening on my site?

Am using RavensNuke (latest) on my other site and this does not happen but converting my older site to Ravens is too difficult a task for moi. Sad

Have a link to your site? We can check the HTML code to see if we get a popup

Many thanks.

Nope don't see anything suspicious. Must be their computer

Yeah if your user has been infected with adware or a virus this can happen.

This is long overdue but I am thankful to not only the answers and responses I get from the RWS crew, forum members as well as the continued development of RavenNuke. I have made a small donation but this won't be the first and last. Keep up with the great work guys!
