Report to malware list maintainers whatever site you think infected you.

The site opens a first popup about:blank, then opens a second popup through that first one (see code excerpt below), then closes the first one. The closing of the first popup by the site itself causes uBO to fail to find the tab which opened the second popup (which contains the nasty ads) -- and thus the popup filtering code fails to execute for that second popup.

var ghost = window.open('about:blank');
ghost.open(url, generateName(), windowConfig);
setTimeout(function () {
    ghost.focus();
    ghost.close();
}, 100);

I have two flavors of a fix:

1. Both popups are closed (including the about:blank one).
2. Only non-about:blank popups are closed.

I checked with FF+ABP, and the behavior is solution 2. @smed79, do you know if this is the intended behavior from ABP or if this should be considered an issue given the filter *$popup? (I went through ABP issue tracker and couldn't find anything about about:blank popups not being closed).

Sorry i have no idea.

Just FYI, there are a lot of site specific "solutions" at github.com/adsbypasser/adsbypasser

Hey, which OS you are using?
