Pop ups, damn the pop ups

[Avg]

My church's website was made by someone who has moved away, and it seems that they used a template that has some pop up ads in it. I wanted to know if you guys will help me get rid of them, the website uses stuff that is way beyond my knowledge.

the website is www.nybrazilianchurch.com

any help is appreciated.

That one is actually there on purpose but it needs to be removed either way as it is no longer necessary. The popups we are getting are ads for online gambling sites and the army.

Are you sure it's the website and not just a spyware infected OS/machine/browser?

If it is the website: don't use anything from outside sources, e.g. guestbooks, guest counters, etc.

I've used a couple different machines, all winxp though I can try linux later. I think there is a guest counter or a guestbook so I'll look into that.

You were right on the money, the website is using a free counter, and when I read their terms of use here is what I found.

With the installation of Webstats4U on the site it is accepted that WMS has the right to place advertisements on the site in any format or through any channel, including but not limited to e-mail, layer ads, pops, banners and other usual formats without any forewarning and it is furthermore accepted that WMS takes no responsibility for the advertising content and that WMS shall not be liable for any losses incurred regarding this advertising.

Now I'm going to try and remove it without effeting anything else.

Thanks for the help

To get rid of the counter you can remove the following code which is also towards the end:

<!-- Begin Webstats4U code -->

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
