Post google ad problem
i will try an upload a pic when it happens again, but there is a USA Green Card lottery google ad that keeps taking me directly to its site away from KJ even though i didn't click on it.

It happened when i was using the Safari web browser.

It's not google, but I had something similar happen to me, and I wasn't pleased when it did. I'm looking into it, apologies.

Also the 'Malware' ad keeps throwing up annoying pop ups.

I know you are on top of things, but just so everything is reported, when I use Firefox at work, I have gotten a couple of blocked pop up warnings.

Yeah, the basic issue is:

I've tried switching to a new ad provider, it's not Google anymore, and I'm waiting to see the profit comparisons, etc, to try and figure out which is better for us.

The reason you're getting popup is some of their advertisers are cheating the system and circumventing it by throwing popups where a banner should be. It's shitty, and we're trying to isolate and cancel those campaigns so it will stop happening.
