Is anyone else being plagued with pop-up ads that beep incessantly? There is no way to get rid of them. When you click on what should be the "x" to delete, you are instead routed to an ad from some entity called the Consumer Opinion Bureau. These have surfaced in droves on CC over the last day. One is beeping away as I type this message! Are these driving anyone else nuts?
Sounds like you may have a nasty bug/trojan/malware downloaded. Very annoying and difficult to get rid of. I ran Spybot and AdAware, found several items, and still had problems. Finally ran an antivirus (Avast) at boot-up and managed to rid myself of the crud.
