I've noticed this problem for about a month or so now, but it's finally annoyed me enough to make a post about it. While on VT(yes, VT. So far I've had the problem with No Other Sites) I keep getting popups, from "Welcome VirtualTeen.org Visitor, You're A Winner!!!" to random add sites. I have a pop up blocker running, and no where else do I get these pop ups. Whether VT has this on purpose, or it's a glitch, It's annoying so I figured I'd let you all know.

I think you have something on your computer. Virus scan?

I've virus scanned before, multiple times. Not to mention, it's only with VT.

It sounds like you have some kind of virus or adware on your computer. Run a scan using your anti-virus or download a free adware removal software. But this definitely isn't coming from our server.

But I've scanned my computer with Malware Bytes, Avast and Kapersky. None of them show anything.

Nobody else seems to be getting this popup, and it's probably a virus that cant be detected.

Probably do what Ant said, free adware removal software, try that.

AVG and Norton FTW, but i also run Avast for the hell of it. This of course after replacing my hard drive for the second time.
Hope you get it fixed dude.

Do you connect via proxy? That would explain it.

And yet since we don't throw up popups like that, and they're exactly the type that are thrown up by spyware, it's definitely on your end. If tools won't fix it for you, a reformat always will.

Not if it's proxy based, or on the DNS server.
Also, try Spybot Search and Destroy. That thing is amazing. :)

Try combofix, that did my computer a world of good and got rid of what was causing it to act badly.

I had something like this once. It was a virus, so it is probably the same for you.

it's not VT, no one else seems to have ever had this problem, including me :P
Have you tried Farwall? That seems to be pretty good.

I use Google Chrome.
No, I'm not sure. I just like drawing unwanted attention to myself. Get's me off. =3
