    Never have pop-ups on the PC. I almost never go on WAP so I can't help there.

    Moved this to Site Questions in the hopes that you get an answer.

    Are you getting it on the phone or your computer?? If on your computer try running malware bytes, spybot search and destroy and run an antivirus scanner on your computer like Avast.. Sounds like spyware on your computer or a trojan virus... Also make sure windows has the latest updates as well..

    It's not spyware. It's ****ty flash ads that expand when rolled over or close to. There are several, not just the grape juice one. Bad form Crackberry.

    For now, just use an add blocker and when CB's ad revenue drops they can adjust.

    gbhil, I agree. The placement of the flash adds are terrible. I cant even click on the
    site tabs because the flash pops up. even the one you can get to, the drop down from the tab is BEHIND the ad banner. Just amazing...

    Ad Blocker...not pop up blocker.
    Adblock Plus: Save your time and traffic something like this. Will kill ad's by blocking the server they originate from.

    Haven't seen them myself but have noticed more ads in general. Static ones, mind you. I block ads and popups though so *shrug*. IMO take responsibility for your computer's security and browser management and you'll eliminate lots of "problems".

    Yep, you gotta be insane to use that sorry excuse for a browser, IE. FireFox with ad blocker plus is the absolute best browsing experience you can have. Blocks probably 95% of ads right off the bat, and you can simply permanently block ones it doesn't initially block with a few clicks.
