Just went and reinstalled from scratch the system OS. (Wiping the C:/)

Went to my site and noticed a pop-up appeared (Advertisements) :

Is this from uCoz ? I thought uCoz displayed a banner on the site ... when the payment expires. This is strange that is why i am asking.

Thank you bigblog !
I used Firefox 33. No flash / no java / no net-framework.
It was a pop up in a new window.

I got the same thing on some other randomly selected uCoz sites. Simply go into the site and left click on some white space then go to another page.

Urs, I couldn't see any pop-up on your website. Please specify what other browsers you used to access the site and also provide a screenshot in which the pop-up can be visible.

Good things come to those who wait!

This was the pop up link.

Clearly a targeted advertisement to some online casino stuff.
Since the OS was fresh there could have been no other places from which the pop up could appear.

This pop-up seems to need flash to work properly. If i go to that link now it says : "Please Update Adobe Flash
Our site requires the latest version" (i didn't install flash player after installing the OS - although the first time it showed the pop-up content there was no problem in displaying it)

Maybe some of the links in the uCoz banner have extra pop-up scripts that are activated from time to time.
