I don't see a "VW popup." The reason YOU are seeing it is that you did a search or visited some webpage that triggered it. Probably rooted from Google Welcome to the internet.

By the way, I have VERY little trouble with popups, generally. I don't use Whendoze, er I mean, Whinehozed. I use Linux (Mint.) Only time I EVER fire up Winshi# is when there's some software that I absolutely cannot accomplish in Linux. This amounts, by the way, to using Whenhoard about once every 6 months, until now........................

I am just starting the tune process on a Holley EFI and Innovate wideband O2 module, an am using one of my old laptops with Winfreeze 2000 and it NEVER gets anywhere near the internet.

Can you please take a screen shot of this and send it to me? I don't see it on mine (but that doesn't mean it isn't there). I can send this to the host company and have them take care of it.

i was getting that pop up, it was a search bar on my google page once i figured it out i removed it.
it was underlining certain key words and if i hovered over it the v-w window would pop up so check out your search bars most likely that is the source of the issue.
did you just add a search bar that's probably it?

You don't need a search bar to cause this. It's probably just coming from Google search I did two things which helped

Searched the www and the Mozilla (I use Firefox) pages and made a few changes in Firefox

And I STOPPED SIGNING IN TO GOOGLE

UPDATE

I've talked to the host company. They are working with a new ad agency and are still working out some things. They do look for this kind of feedback though - this is good.

The explanation I got for the pop up was that you may have scrolled over something and your phone thought that you wanted to open it (this has happened on my crackberry so I can understand what they are saying). They did ask if you could or could not close it. If you cannot "X" out of it then it is a larger issue on their end. They are working to have less pop-ups like this though.
