  Best thing to do is clear out your cookies.  It most likely is a tracking cookie that is causing the issue.

  I am also getting the popups from "reimagerepair" and "tuneuppro" after I complete a hole.  I am using Win7 and Firefox, but I believe it to be an issue with WGT software as it never happens on other websites.

  I am trying to block it with my anti-virus Nod32(ESET), but I've never done this before so am unsure of the settings.  ESET pops up and warns me about an unsafe website whenever these offending websites appear. 

  I hope WGT can take care of the problem because it is annoying.

  Jim, use AdBlocker,thats what got rid of it for me. I was getting Reimagerepair also for my Chrome OS. You have to turn it off for the video credits though, and then turn it back on. I found the problem was in the flash website storage. I deleted everything on it and it stopped.

  Don,

  I installed AdBlock (Firefox version) and it worked!  I haven't had any popups since. Thank you!

  Malawarebytes is good, I use that in my xp computer. Superantispyware is another.

  I have a chromebook so I cant install, but adblock plus was working,I had it off for video credits. WGT asked for info about this so I trying to provide it.

  Your link isn't working for me Mush but I'm assuming most anti-malware software will work.  I've three that scan for them...

  SlimCleaner Plus, SpeedyPC Pro, but SpyHunter is by far, the most comprehensive one I've got for Malware and can check/clean/resolve for many other issues.  I use all 3 every day before playing just to minimize/eliminate load/popup/disconnect issues.  Since doing so daily, I've never a problem with anything (other then a less then ideal ding-ability...is there software for that?).  All are purchase versions.  Also use RegServe to keep my registry clean.  I'm using Windows 8.1 and IE.  Now if WGT would just get my dang space bar to work, I'd be in 7th heaven!  Please don't suggest another browser...I've tried them all to no avail for this.

  As with anything, you get what you pay for.  Free software rarely does a complete/adequate job...from my own experience.
