    Pop-up

    Since a couple of weeks we have a pop-up on this site.
    It is caused by our counter.
    They say that it sould average 1 to 2 times per visitor a week.
    But we notice that one visitor seldom sees it and another sees it almost every visit.

    We are looking for other free stats to solve this.
    If you know a good stats site which is free, please let us know.

    Update:
    Since we also got a report of pop-ups that tried to install spyware, we have removed the counter. This should stop the pop-ups and all other effects they might have.

    Re: Pop-up

    Pop ups may not always be caused by the host site. If these individual get pop ups it may well be that they have a "parasite", virus for lack of a better term, that is on their system that pops random advertising windows.

    I use to have this problem with my computer at work until I did a good system cleaning using several different kinds of "killer" programs.

    I worked my solution out with crapcleaner, spybot, trojanhunter, and a couple others I can not recall. I run crapcleaner after every day's use of my system and have remained fairly clean of any of these attacks.

    Re: Pop-up

    I know this pop-up is caused by the counter. Many people of other sites complain about it and they also state it on their site.

    Now I got a report that one of these pop-ups tried to install spyware. To be safe I just removed it from the site.
    I don't want to have the risk to be involved with installing spyware.

    It seems that not everyone got pop-ups when entering the site. At least I havent had one. Could it be a geographically related instead?

    It took weeks for Adlabs as well to get one, but last week he finally got it.
    I get it some weeks not at all other weeks almost every time.
