I’ve noticed that my website always triggers a pop-up window which is the http://adserving.cpxinteractive.com

I’ve begged Marlon to help me find which item in my sidebar creates the pop-up. It’s just so annoying that every time you open my site, a pop-up window appears. I’m also thinking about my visitors who get pissed off by the unwanted pop-ups brought about by my site but thankfully, it is not anything harmful. After 3 hours of debugging and deleting items, we found the issue. The culprit is the cbox!

First observation is that it only happens in IE. If I use Firefox, I don’t get the pop-ups.

Here’s how we found out:

1. Close all IE sessions

2. Open your website in IE. The pop-up window will appear.

3. Open your C:\Documents and Settings\Windows log on id\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

4. Look for the entry in the Internet Address column which matches the title of the pop-up window. In this case, the adserving.cpxinteractive.com

4. Open that file. (or copy and paste to another location so you can open it using a text editor)

5. Quickly browse through the code. In this example, I saw that it came from cbox

Cbox is my chatbox that allows my visitors leave their comments but I am now looking for another alternative. Cbox is actually good only if you upgrade to the premium version which is $2/month. It’s a bit heavy for a starter like me who doesn’t earn much from my site. It will just be an added cost not mentioning my domain cost and hosting expenses.

I’ve been trying to sign up in some websites but after filling out the form and the captcha or any other security code, it returns “Sorry, you have entered an invalid security code. Please click back and try again” I’ve tried using different browsers but I still get the same error. It’s just so annoying to repeat all the process and re-enter all the information needed.

Anyone there who knows the solution? Please help!
