    It is truly bizarre that they keep carrying on as if it is about THEIR web site; for them to go where no such thing was even implied. Obviously, they cannot read well enough to grasp it is, ACTUALLY, about THEIR ADS popping up in several browsers. Pathetic to see a major corp being dumb to this magnitude.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Received a McDonalds reply from a different person today....

    "Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's regarding our website, www.mcdonalds.com. We always appreciate hearing from our customers. We apologize that the information you found posted on McDonald's website was incomplete or incorrect. **** Please know your comments have been shared with our Web Development Team. I am certain they will further investigate and take corrective action. Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's. Sincerely,"

    I truly believe they are the biggest group of idiots allowed on the internet!

    What leaves me gobsmacked here is, McD's continuing to point a finger at a browser's settings. OR at Users from not having those settings On, already. There latter being borderline insulting. It has been proven AND shown to McD's that some have this behaviour FROM McD's, in spite of those settings being "Blocked", ALREADYā—

    The caveat here is they had already been told this (your reply, below) initially in the (your) original communication to them about this. Ignored then and now, stillā—šŸ˜”

    If you're experiencing pop-up ads while using your browser, we recommend checking your browser settings to disable pop-ups and ads.We hope to have the opportunity of serving you again soon under the Golden Arches."

    To this, I emailed back my reply...."

    My Popup blocker is on and has been on*. About a month ago, Microsoft support was contacted and investigated, the determination was that it was* generated from McDonalds to advertise on supporting web sites.Ā 

    Cheers,

    I have been plagued with this on my work laptop. Believe me, they have the security screws turned down tight.

    I purchased a new personal laptop last week and within 10 minutes on the MS start page, it was popping up.
