The site was IMAGE SHACK.

My browser is not the problem, those rapid POP UPs were.

then I guess your computer is infested with spyware, ad-aware or something similar.

mostly they cause certain pages to create pop ups at the sudden.

I think its time to scan your computer with a good spy/ad ware scanner
delete cookies&temporarly internet files

as I visit imageshack.us
no pop ups appear
when I watch a picture hosted on imageshack.us
no pop ups appear
when I upload a picture myself
No pup ups appear

I got a pop up blocker and Ccleaner no problems here.

I use IE7 with Google Toolbar(has a Pop-up blocker) and I never get any pops, like others said probably spyware.

Then it must have been some weird anomaly because I had no POP UPs prior to opening the link and none after rebooting.

I have 3 POP UP Blockers on my system to also include Google's. The count is 377 Blocked.

If it were Spy-ware, then every time I access the web to surf, I should have the same problem. I ran my Spy-ware detection software and it found no form of Spy-ware. My system appears to be clean.
:hmm:

Good to hear some folks are not getting pop-ups, that sucks.

I've been using ImageShack for a couple years now. I haven't had a single pop-up from them ever. My main browser is Firefox, but I have used IE6 with it before, too. I don't use any third-party toolbars or pop-up blockers, either.

no popups using firefox 2.0 for me

besides my trusted antivirus and ccleaner i have no other anti-spy or popup-blocker running. i guess i know my way around and catch anything spyware- or adware-like by myself. as for the rest:

i HIGHLY recommend two very handy firefox plugins: AdBlock Plus and NoScript

NoScript might take some getting used to, but it's definitely worth it. I can't remember how many times it saved me from some malfunctioning or malicious code on a website...
