This morning, I keep getting a full screen popup "adobe flash player out of date"..... I don't use flash player.... you can't close out the window, to get rid of it, you have to close the TBN window. When reopened, it pops up again, about every 30 seconds... very annoying.....it is only occurring on TBN. Here is a screen shot:

I get the same popups for both for Firefox updates and McAfee renewal (which I don't have)
Mucho annoying!!!

I noticed this yesterday until it became unbearable. I installed Adblock Plus and stopped the popups instantly.

Thank you for the tip on "Adlock Plus".
It seems to be working!

You can also turn it off for some sites. Some sites will pop up a warning saying you cannot proceed with an ad blocker, so you just turn it off for those as needed. I know TBN needs the legit ads to survive, so I'll turn it off for this site once they get the current issue resolved.
