Calling on angels

[stgulik]

Does anyone else open Livejournal and get automatically redirected to an ad for a videogame featuring anime angels with wings and weapons and huge, long, flapping breasts? And have this happen every time you change pages?

Because it's happening to me. It's annoying. My antivirus program goes ballistic over it. Is it annoying enough to complain to LJ that I'm not heart-stoppingly happy with a free service?

If forcing ads on me once in a while will help LJ pay the bills, well, better those bills be paid by "LEAGUE OF ANGELS MOST ANTICIPATED GAME OF 2014," or whatever, instead of me. On the other hand, it might be the integrity of my hard drive on the line.

Oh, I don't want to go to work today. I think my boss hates me.

Ugh, sounds like a really obnoxious pop-up. Are you using Firefox? If so, I would add adblock to it and see if that gets rid of it.

Ooh, I am using Firefox. I hadn't thought of using adblock because they're a different type of pop-ups than I'm used to. Thanks.

Is that a typo or do they actually have huge long flapping breasts? I'm using the iphone app, but I might have to boot up the laptop to check!

They have breasts that defy gravity and other, worldly constraints. In fact, they don't need the wings at all; their mammary glands act as dirigibles.

their mammary glands act as dirigibles. You've got a wicked sense of humor.

Eveytime I've had something like that it's usually turned out to be a bit of malware. I use Avira Free for antivirus, Ccleaner to delete all those annoying files that populate my computer after a day of surfing, and Malwarebytes and Spybot Search and Destroy to scarffle the rest of the crud. If none of those fixes the problem, I take it to my computer guy so he can find root kits or other crap in the registry.

Have you got the popup blocker turned on?


Good luck with the angels.

I have seen the ad and it was not on LJ, but another site. Clearly they're a high-rotation ad! It couldn't be a flash ad cause I'm on the ipad and it doesn't play well with flash.

I don't get popups on LJ, but maybe because I have a paid account. That does sound very annoying though. I hope you figure out how to get rid of it.

I have not seen any huge, long, flapping breasts, no. How very offputting,

I JUST LITERALLY GOT THAT s*********** 2 SECONDS AGO AND SCREAMED WHY WHY WHY on the inside. My virus protection is topnotch too (as proven because this person likes to look at naughty stuff on my computer, no names though) so I don't think it's THAT but it was annoying.

No, but I've seen that ad.

I want to retire, but I can't afford it.

Are you on firefox as a browser? There is a way to KILL FLASHPLAYER!!!
