Getting pretty aggressive now - it has morphed into a very persistent pop-up & finding it's way around my ad blocker. Another example of people outsmarting themselves! This is VERY annoying!

I use my Compaq Notebook for accessing our forums. Infolinks was driving me bananas. Until I installed AdGuard AdBlocker. It is a free extension for my Firefox browser. No more Infolinks pop-ups!

It is still working like a champ.

I also run FireFox browser, & have Adblock Plus & was not getting the popup for a couple of months now, but it's back with a vengeance on my desktop.

Guess what? I still have never used Infolinks & never will!

Make sure your Adblock Plus is still on. I run it in Chrome on Linux but a couple times I started seeing ads(on other sites) that I wasn't used to and realized Adblock was turned off. I didn't turn it off.....something else did. Check in your add-ons/extensions that it's on and you have the latest version.

I never see it on my PC laptop but the Android phone was driving me nuts. I installed a Ghostery browser and occasionally the Infolinks will pop up but if you close the popup, it never pops again unless you close the browser and even then it only pops occasionally.

ABP goes crazy on this site. I can see the stuff being caught.

Can't hardly look at a news site or newspaper article without them demanding you allow ads or subscribe. I don't even watch network TV or listen to terrestrial radio. Can't take the constant harassment and shakedown. When "Jerry" from Mumbai calls me on a spoofed local number about my credit card, electric bill or car warranty, I usually try to ruin his day for bothering me.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

We (damnit another Infolink just popped up in my way of typing this reply) see what we mean? the user of a forum shouldn't have to look for an app to keep popups from interfering with use of said site. Popups shouldn't be there in the first place.

This site costs money to run and info links helps pay for it. Get adblock and quit gripeing. It takes more time to post a complaint about the ads then it does to download the app to stop them.

1) This is a car website. Advertising about car stuff is fine. I actually look at them, AT MY CONVENIENCE.

2) Advertisements for unrelated stuff that is crap at best and scams at their worst, jumping in front of my face and forcing me to deal with them, like a little dog grabbing my ankle while I'm trying to take a walk, are a PIA.

Here's a pro tip. If you advertise like that, I guarantee I will not buy anything from you, even if I am in need of it sometime.

I understand about the cost of running a site, but rest of your answer is wrong Mr. Stump. Like I said already, I have AdBlock Plus & it's still getting through.

And like other posters are saying, there are more & more (mostly news) sites where you have to disable your ad blocker or pay a fee to view a story. Sorry, not going to happen with me. There are usually other sites to view the same story that don't attempt to extort from you. Internet is supposed to be free, & free of CRAP. If I want to see crap ads, all I need to do is watch TV & all the lame-ass commercials!

Why do you think the internet is supposed to be free? Web sites take work to create and maintain and I bet you don't work for free so why should those who deal with web sites? I have adblock plus and never get info links. shruggy

You may have a computer virus and the adblock is being turned off or disabled.

It's not terribly intrusive on my PC, but on my iPad, it just about makes the site unusable. I can stand ten minutes, and then I'm done.
