Pop-up

Since a couple of weeks we have a pop-up on this site.
It is caused by our counter.
They say that it sould average 1 to 2 times per visitor a week.
But we notice that one visitor seldom sees it and another sees it almost every visit.

We are looking for other free stats to solve this.
If you know a good stats site which is free, please let us know.

Update:
Since we also got a report of pop-ups that tried to install spyware, we have removed the counter. This should stop the pop-ups and all other effects they might have.

Re: Pop-up

Pop ups may not always be caused by the host site. If these individual get pop ups it may well be that they have a "parasite", virus for lack of a better term, that is on their system that pops random advertising windows.

I use to have this problem with my computer at work until I did a good system cleaning using several different kinds of "killer" programs.

I worked my solution out with crapcleaner, spybot, trojanhunter, and a couple others I can not recall. I run crapcleaner after every day's use of my system and have remained fairly clean of any of these attacks.

Re: Pop-up

I know this pop-up is caused by the counter. Many people of other sites complain about it and they also state it on their site.

Now I got a report that one of these pop-ups tried to install spyware. To be safe I just removed it from the site.
I don't want to have the risk to be involved with installing spyware.

Re: Pop-up

It seems that not everyone got pop-ups when entering the site. At least I havent had one. Could it be a geographically related instead?

Re: Pop-up

It took weeks for Adlabs as well to get one, but last week he finally got it.
I get it some weeks not at all other weeks almost every time.
