Question about the " pop ups"

Did my subscription run out ~ I thought that if you paid for belonging to the site, you did not have to see all the ADS etc.
On the left side of my screen I see big Pop Up videos Ad and constantly have to click it off.

I also see blue underlines that have pop ups?
How can I check to see when I need to pay again?

Thanks!

It sounds like you got some adware. Lisa0825 Feb 2013 #2

Should show your membership status.

Maybe you need to use an ad-blocking add on, I use Firefox with some ad-blocking thing.

DU never had those blue link ads. You may have inadvertently installed some adware.

Your antivirus program might catch it, or you can try downloading a program like Malwarebytes, which we use at work.
