odd pop up....boats.com

[nwcove]

never seen a big pop up survey add, offering free stuff. actually havent seen any pop ups for quite awhile. is boats,com affiliated with iboats? or ???

 

[toneeees]

No we are not affiliated with boats.com, and there should not be any ads displaying boats.com. I will contact our advertising department and let them know to take it down.

to the op run a scan with a free program like malewarebytes (only download from there site) or panda cloud cleaner which is another free site. Chances are you have a program installed that's controlling you ads.

This was my original guess. I will also be letting our Ad department know just in case something slipped by

If you're on a PC or laptop, press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. It's usually on the top right somewhere. Then open Paint if you are on a Windows computer (Mac - no idea) and paste it into into the Paint window and save it. That will keep it and we can work with you from there. That's if it happens again. Thanks nwcove.

on mine I need to hold Fn and print screen. Last one was CTL and print screen. If you have Windows 10 you have a program calls 'Snipping Tool.

 

[GA_Boater]

Windows 10? Did you skip W9, which won't be out til this fall or later? :smile: W7 up has the Snipping Tool, which I keep forgetting about. :doh:

 

[toneeees]

I've never heard of this snipping tool, I'll have to check it out. You have to press the function key or control key when the print screen button has two options.

Windows 10?

By the way, the print screen feature for capturing what is on your computer screen has been around since the days of Windows 3.0 and was also available in the old days of dos, in dos it would print the screen on a printer, then it became a capture screen button when the GUI came along, they just never re-labled the key. There are actually still some older programs that if you hit the right combinations of key will actually print on a printer attached to your computer or your network connected printer.

I'm assuming he meant IE 10.
