For those w/o a microscope:

The other adware I've seen has a background website that looks like an MS support page.

I’ve never had that happen from Drudge’s website. Have you cleared your cookies and cache? Sometimes resetting your browser to its default settings helps too.

I don’t know why, but there are a number of otherwise good conservative websites that are just very user unfriendly. Another one is Breitbart. I haven’t been there in months. It’s too damned annoying.

I run Cyberfox with Ghostery and Bluehell firewall. Never had an issue.

That's not from Drudge's website. You just happened to have his website up when the pop-up occurred.

Your browser/computer is infected with malware from another site. But, it's waiting until you are doing something else to pop-up the window. They don't want you to know where you got it.

Drudge doesn’t select his ads. A company does that for him. I wouldn’t leave it idling. Subscribe to his Twitter feed instead.

do like me and download the “Simply Drudge” app for your phone. I takes all the ads out and so all you are left with are the headlines. Great app.

Been addicted to Drudge since 1998 and have Never had problems with invasive ads.
Firefox + Ad blocker + strong security parameter settings = viewing pleasure.

We owe A Lot to Matt over the years.
He consistently fights the good fight, and that’s why the Dem-RINOs-FCC has been trying to shut him down.
Acknowledge it or not, much of our news story threads originate from FReepers seeing Drudge aggregated articles posted on his site, first.

Can’t imagine an Internet without Drudge...
Ten times better than Rush.

Sorry not having the same issues.

Drudge works fine to me.

You need to get an Ad blocker for your browser, and that should resolve your trouble.

Matt Drudge has attended TWO big Freeper functions IN PERSON over the years.

He linked to us at an early point and maybe 1/3 of freeps found FR via Drudge.

It’s sorta a big deal cuz you can make the argument that us picking up his headlines and posting links to the same stories HE originally linked to has the effect of lessening his click-throughs (yes, there IS lots of cross-pollination, so it goes both ways).

I’m not complaining or lobbying, I’m just saying be nice to him cuz he loved us and still loves us.

If you have Malware Bytes, run it.
You have PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) and possibly a virus on your HD.
That one’s called RansomWare, and it’s more than just in the cache or in a cookie.

Sorry, that’s NOT RansomWare, unless they demand a CC to do any ‘work’, install their remote app on your HD, and return ‘control’ to you.

Run Task Manager concurrently with your browser. When your browser slows down or popups start running, switch to the Task Manager and delete or end task for the Flash Player (huge mb counts) or the specific separate task.

Quit looking at Drudge a few years ago when they started that annoying “auto-refresh” every half minute or so. NoScript shows them running dozens of external scripts as well...best avoided, no loss.

Anyone who has trouble loading Drudge I’ll tell you a trick —

I ‘search’ for “Drudge Report” on Google, enter the ‘cache’ option, and select “text only”.

The cache is sometimes six hours old, but it’s a fast load.

I’m amazed at how often even six-hour old Drudge pages often get news out faster than this forum.

His packed news presentation helps me get up to speed in a hurry.
