I have been getting the same popup. Total AdBlock does block it. But I shouldn't have to buy a program to stop getting a popup that I have no control over.
- wcb_123Dec 23, 2022Brass ContributorTotal AdBlock? But I see you now get a recurring ad from them instead. Possibly THEY are the source of this annoying pop-up?
- tdc_928Dec 23, 2022Copper ContributorThe LACare popup was there before Total Adblock was put on the machine. So it isn't likely Total Adblock is the source. I don't know how it is that I became the lucky one to have this popup issue.
I only mention Total Adblock because so far it is the only thing that stops the popup. The source of the popup must be doing something they shouldn't or it would be blocked. McAfee Total Protection can't find anything, Webroot Secure Anywhere can't find anything, Malware Bytes can't find anything. There is something that Total Adblock finds and blocks and so far only they can block it.- GoHackDec 23, 2022Copper ContributorI just suddenly started to get the pop up myself.
I tried AdBlocker but it doesn't work. I searched on the internet, and this site is the only one with any mention of it.
It's really quite annoying.
Microsoft Edge has really gotten bad w/all the pop ups and such.
