Looks like all quiet when the adserver was turned off, I've turned it on again - let's see if we get any pop-ups. Please report to this thread if you do.

We made some changes, let's see if it happens again.

Thanks for the help all - we're narrowing down the list of possibilities. When you visit the site (and get the popup), do you do so from a bookmark, direct link or a Google search suggestion?

We've engaged Sucuri.net to do a security audit, will update when they come back with the report.

Thanks - which page were you hitting? The home page?

Most likely a Google ad unit, they're terrible at allowing redirect ads. I've turned them off to check to see if it solves the problem.
