Have had an ad for the US Navy come up several times, the only way to get rid of it is to stop play, close window, and reopen in new tab!

Just had that same add pop up again. It comes up on top of the game, and the only way to kill it is to exit the page.

You're getting only sarcasm. You have spyware. It is not freecell.net since no one else is seeing this.

james, it's more than likely the same stuff I (and many others) complained about 4-5-7years ago. Denny doesn't have control (in many ways) over what ads are served, and the serving company isn't "careful" about what types of ads they serve. I can go back and find the earlier discussions on this if need be. That said, he *could* have spyware, but not likely because of this behavior. In fact, my assistant Mr. MUDstains got his moniker because of one of those intrusive ads. [update before posting: I just went back and found one of the several(?) threads concerning this problem. You'll note on the first page of this thread Denny says it's either adware or a virus. I believe later on he eventually realized it was the serving company.] [Also note that a variety of "remedies" were put forth on that thread. Some worked for some; others worked for some others; some didn't seem to work for most.]

I'm only having the problem here, with that one ad, also ran malwarebytes, came up clean. I figured it was the ad server, which is the reason I made the original post. Thought that Denny or whoever keeps the wheels greased around here might want to check into it before it got to be a pain for everyone.

After not seeing it since my last post, it has now come up twice in just the last few games. And still the only way to get rid of it is to close the page.
