CBox is the culprit for popups on your blogs

Tired of having stupid popup advertisments in your blog and do not know why it happens?
Well i am tired of it so i when through a full line by line code reading on the layout and widget coding of blogger. I was fustrated at the end of the sweep because i cannot find any malicious coding.
I used Ccleaner to clear my cookies and cahce once again so that i could see the popup again and try see if i can find anything from it from the source. I have popup blocker installed so when the popup comes up i can see the intermmediate advertising company which yeild this line of html coding

See something familiar? Well its cbox, and finally i see which widget is the root of the problem and removed it. Popups are now gone and i am happy with it. Its a shame on Cbox because on the website they only states that they will put advertisment inside the Cbox and not popups.

"Upgrading means you're paying for your own bandwidth and space on our servers, so there's no need to put ads on your Cbox." Quote from Cbox FAQ

Well i do not like pop-ups and i think neither will you guys so i removed it. Any comments post them in the respective comment pages. ;) Or go to my facebook, its easy enough.
