No pop ups here. At least not yet. It may be from some malware on your computer.

I can personally guarantee that no one has setup any pop-up ads on the HeartlandOwners.org site.
I can also guarantee that HeartlandOwners has no affiliation with 'heartland.org' mentioned above.
The usual way this occurs is if you have malware in your computer and/or browser that is monitoring what you're doing and provides ads based on your actions.
Please see our Heartland Owners Manuals section and download our Internet Security Tips (Download Link). In the linked PDF, go to the section titled "Security Improvements to Clean Up Infections and Protect You".
This will walk you through removal of most common bugs and bad things.

Jim,
If you have updated any program or downloaded something new you might have something embedded in your browser bar. About a month ago I was told I needed to update something,, don't remember which now.. but I did and got something like that. I finally found it hiding in the browser bar and had a hard time getting it out.

You may have the dreaded"bettersurf" virus. It attaches itself to almost anything andimmediately begins to inundate your browsing with all kinds of annoying popupsthat for some reason are not considered “popups” by your filters. It can evenopen up your browser at will. Google Chrome seems very susceptible to gettingit. I managed to get rid of mine when my company IT folks updated the OS fromXP to Windows 7. I also did not re-install Google Chrome. Here's more info:https://www.google.com/#q=bettersurf+removal

Thanks,
I will do some more checking because lately I have been getting alot of unsolicited ads and thought I might have some Malware or Adware that sneeked in. I have and do use McAfee but these seem to squeek by. I will look into this further.
