Pop up thingys
Not necessarily a Scoobynet issue as it's happening on other forums as well, but how do I get rid of these annoying pop up type things?

Can't say I've ever had these on IE, Chrome or Firefox. In the first instance I'd check for Malware on your PC with something like http://www.malwarebytes.org/

It's Firefox I use and I have Ad Block Plus installed already. 
Already scanned my machine with Malwarebytes and it hasn't picked up anything.
It's only Firefox this is happening though, IE is ok.

Turn off all your add ons, or better still uninstall them - have you installed something new recently?
Once you are back to scratch reinstall ad block first and try using it again, then work your way through, to me it seems like an add on has something a little extra in it, it's malware clearly.
