I don't think we have a video-pop ad. Per our Web Master we do not.

Sorry, it's a timed frame overlay on the home page where the pictures for each article are overlayed with an ad.

And it sucks.

Google will occasionally place a video ad in the righthand columnon our pages, but we don't do what you are describing. Could you send us a screenshot the next time this happens, please, so we know what you're having to deal with.

BTW, my son had a similar problem. It turned out he had downloaded a free "Speed up your PC" app that infected his laptop with ad windows like you are describing.

It wasn't Yontoo.  It was an adware plugin.  I deleted it across my browsers and now it's all good.

Thanks JA for the quick response!
