The very pop-up i mention has been continuing to appear for me increasingly often now on this site, especially at times when it is increasingly irrelevant, by now it's appearing randomly for me on windows, most commonly off the forums and on all profiles and image galleries i try to tap into.

Before you tell me 'oh, you have a virus' then let me tell you this is happening on this site only, no virus i swear, i'm trying to raise awareness of this issue I am currently having by any means necessary, as I am even typing it's appearing at least once in front of me…

the reason it appears so it says?
'false'

that's the reason it gives me, and it can appear up to 5 times over before changing pages
I hope someone fixes this issue, it is damaging my time on this site heavily…

Okay so I can think of a few reasons this is happening.

One: you have some form of malware, or some toolbar or whatever has hidden itself away in your browser. If you want to be more sure, try clearing your caches/browsing data, or using a different browser entirely. More information is better. The fact that this problem only occurs on KYM isn't an indication that it isn't a virus or malware, so err on the side of caution and run a scan or something.

Two: there's been some kind of problem with the standard pop-up errors KYM gives for things like karma/vote flooding. I honestly doubt this is the case, seeing as it appears randomly from what you've described, and not on a specific action. KYM only gives pop-ups for two reasons: the voting limit, and attempting to use the site while suspended. Check in with a mod if you're really worried about that.

Three: you're receiving the pop-ups from one of KYM's ad banners, or an ad sponsor that doesn't advertise on other sites. I don't really understand how this could happen, but try ad-block anyways. And then disable it immediately after because we need that revenue to live, mayn.
