kpremium advertisements
(I'm posting for Patty, since she's out of the office today.)
It looks like one of our advertisers possibly managed to sneak past our ad guidelines. The kpremium ad is designed and targeted for people in Western Europe and Australia, and we've received reports from people in those regions, indicating that it's doing obnoxious things with the browsers -- shrinking the window and generating popups. (Many people mentioned "ErrorSafe" in particular.)
We're looking into the exact cause of the problem, but until then, we've paused the kpremium ad from appearing in the rotation; we figure it's much better for us to temporarily remove it from the rotation while we investigate what's going on, than to leave it in the rotation for longer than necessary. We're all very sorry that this got past us and that it took us a few days before we could do anything. Thank you to everyone who reported these -- we're in the US, so we aren't running into the problem ourselves, but it's your reports that are helping us figure out what's going on.
