I haven't. Have you tried running a scan with an antivirus on your computer? It's likely that you have some adware on your system.
They/Them for me, please.

I'm still not getting anything, even with the pop-up/ad blockers disabled and in both Chrome and IE 11. What antivirus did you use?

Also, what kinds of pop-ups are you getting?

I've used Malwarebytes Adwcleaner and Hitman pro. Also the main pop up is Coupon time and sometimes when I click on something a new tab pops up with Rxrsignals as a part of the URL.

Admininstration team: I would check coding on the pages as well. Websites do get hacked and malicious code can often be inserted despite it not being authorized or done by y'all.

Are you still having the issue? If so, then try adding uBlock Origin to Chrome, as it's an ad blocker and it will probably help keep the pop-ups down. If not, then it was one of those extensions that was causing the issue.

I'll ask Gillson to take a look at it.

Also, if we can get any specific pages where this is occurring at, let us know. It'll help us out to see if it's an issue with someone editing some of the pages on the site.
