Does anyone else get annoying pop ups from TheFret? I get a lot of popups and pop unders.

Not me. Never have on any of my machines, at home or at work.

Nope. Maybe you need to run a spyware/malware scan. Try this one - works well for me:

Our IT folks say my computer doesn't have any infections, but I keep getting redirects from google too. I know there's something amiss. Just wanted to make sure I was the only one getting popups and stuff from the fret.

Hmm. Here is a pop up I just got. I put it in code so nobody would click it.

As do I, although The Fret is one of the sites that I whitelist. I've got Firefox's pop up blocker working. I despise those. Having said that, some sites work around it via Flash, which is where Adblock comes in.

Nope, not with Safari or Firefox, on standard settings from original installation.
