I've never gotten a popup while on OSO before, that's why I ask.... and it wasn't really a popup... it appeared over on the left side of the screen.... where the adds normally are. That's why I'm asking. Otherwise I would have just deleted it. It's from Offercash.com and they want my email address.

OSO, is this legit??

Did not come from us. This site will close before it ever has pop-ups, they are the most obnoxious thing ever. I hear there are some virus's around that place some nasty pop-up bombs on your computer. Are you sure you did not hit a link in someones post to a site that might have triggered it?

I'm affraid you may have spy or ad ware installed on your computer. You will receive these pop-ups regardless which site you're on until you get rid of it.
