    The McDonald's ads pop up despite those two settings being checked. They are bypassing this option. Need another solution.

    There doesn't appear to be any solution at the moment. Everyone here wants a quick fix to this and until McDonalds addresses the issue it doesn't seem as though it'll go away.

    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.

    Sent another message to McDonalds recently, due to another ill-timed popup leaving me steaming mad, and this is the reply received....

    "Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Care.

    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. There is even a thread dedicated to this very issue and a read through will clearly show nothing can be done from the end users to directly stop this problem.  Full page McDonalds ads keep popping up when I open a page from the - Microsoft CommunityEfforts have been tried for months now and as I stated previously in a message to McDonalds, the desired intent of drawing customers attention to the app may have the wrong effect and create an unfriendly image of the brand."

    The only recommendation I can give to those reading this and looking for answers is to go to the McDonalds website, click on 'Contact Us' and click on the 'Feedback' tab and then fill in the requested information. They may not do anything if only one or two people report this issue, but dozens or hundreds report this, then it may draw the attention it needs to be addressed.
