sneekypeet · Mar 7, 2014

lame, I just got the same popup.

Thought about making snide comments about the deals on your page, but I was in a hurry to get ready for work. Just assume it was smart ass and funny

Got the same thing on another thread. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/windows-8-key-troubles.198570/#post-3076467

What did canardpc do?

SKBARON · Mar 7, 2014

I don't get these on either of those threads.

Are you using an add blocker?

I'm using one and i still got the message. It's possible they (canardpc.com) have cleared their standing with google

Message from the CPU-Z people:

We currently have another blacklist issue by Google on valid.canardpc.com due a YET AGAIN comprised ad server outside of our scope. We’re working with them to lift that ban as soon as possible.
Anyway, in order to avoid that in the future, the CPU-Z validator will (very soon) be moved to its own domain

I have removed all CPU-Z validation links for now, Chrome should be ok now

SKBARON · Mar 7, 2014

Yep, using AdBlock
