That really sucks. I hope that spyware isn't the next big thing.

Default I'm getting them too, Neil. On 2 different computers...
It's random, but I'm guessing it's based on the ad that loads when you click to read posts. I also noticed that the ads take forever to load.

Somebody else reported the same thing (random popups) on the B6 S4 forum. Something ain't right...

Default Nope. There is a pop-up issue with AW. Check your advertisers.
