Coldfront Forums - View Single Post - Invasive banner ad on KoLwiki redirects and fakes error message

While browsing the KoL wiki, some banner ad (I assume) for performanceoptimizer.com minimized my browser when I clicked on some text in the middle of an article, gave me a fake error message, then redirected me to their website. When I closed that tab, it gave me like 3 popup dialogue windows in a row trying to get me to use their "service".

A different site (the "DVD Talk Forum") has had this problem. You may want to try asking them how they fixed it.
