ValueClick Annoying iPad Pop Unders

    Is anyone else having problems with ValueClick's pop under ads behaving like virus? I am referring to the annoying You Won iPad ads that open new windows when you try to close them. I have spent valuable time going through the list adding filters to ban these annoying pop under ads and every day they show back up on the list! I have complained to VC support to no avail. Now I am considering dropping VC altogether as they seem to allow ads with malicious code :(.

    NewToAllThis, do you mean they are a malware (getting warnings from antivirus) :0 ... or just they act like virus?

    Hi Stinker. The pop under ads are just annoying. When the viewer clicks on the X to make them go away they open new dialogue windows like a virus or a trojan. These pop ups are very annoying to the viewer. Valueclick does not seem to care.

    Thanks for your reply, NewToAllThis!
    Yes, popups are traffic killers. Is there an option to turn off all popups?
    Nowadays im improving my site to be able to join VCM but now im not sure if it worth. as long as they act like this. I hate to have popups on my sites too.
