I just got it today...
go to your browser and delete the relevant cookies... search for "playmo" but it may still come back Just deleted the cookies a 2nd time... Have to figure out a solution

I notice it will only keep popping up or occurs when I have my mangareader tab up. Once I close it the popping up ends. :/

have been experiencing this spam for a week now too. deleting cookies did not solve everything, run norton and detected some tracking cookies and deleted but keeps on coming back. run kaspersky but did not detect anything. and yes, only happens in firefox

extremely irritating! it pops up even when i click the side-scrolling bar! i have more than a dozen bars with the same ad which i just ignore and then i close them all. already tried using an ad-stopper add-on but it only worked for 1 day.
maybe the only solution is to stop using firefox btw, the ad is a big scam - just make sure you don't fall for it! |

Crap man..
got the same thing, someone please sue this fellas lah.. spam us like this, sure got one singaporean on one what... hehe
anyway, i try clicking the [X] - close button on FF but it keeps popping up more tabs, so a tip is use [Ctrl+W] it will close but no more pop ups, then go cookie loh, then type "play" then delete all the cookies you find there. come on lah singaporeans! these spammers are smart, if u clear "playmo" cookies it won't help, i think they got secret to bypass this, remember advertisement companies are irritating one ok, look at those on this site, opps..  |
