Actually this forum is not run by XoloX so no control over the pop-ups it loads. Yes this forum does load popups to support it, it does for all the clients sadly.

The 'gator' and other traces you have must be from other installed programs. That page you posted was clean as a whistle. I recommend you run ad-aware because the fact is those compenents will cause things to load on you even when visiting a site that does not have any form up ads.
