EVERY time I log into my Yahoo email or go on any Yahoo site I ge tthe following series of 4 pop-ups, which I have to select OK to go away: The page at http://us.mg4.yahoo.com says: hi The page at http://us.mg4.yahoo.com says: hi The page at http://us.mg4.yahoo.com says: 39969225 The page at http://us.mg4.yahoo.com says: 1

I have screen shots but I'm not sure how to upload them to this thread. I tried downloading Adblock and it didn't help. They keep popping up until I leave the Yahoo site. They're driving me crazy. Please help.

Here are the screen shots of the 4 notifications. They always pop up in that order, and when I hit OK the next one pops up.

I just had the same thing happen to me too.

These are javascript alerts.

If you do not have to use javascript on this page you can block it with the YesScript add-on.

But if you need javascript, there is a workaround: hold Ctrl+W while clicking OK. Sometimes that helps.
