Google Tag Manager

Windows 7 Pro. All of sudden I have this googletagmanager site wanting
to popup in IE10. How do I get rid of this damn thing and how did I end
up with it?

Sounds like maybe you signed up for it in the past?

This is an Internet Explorer problem, not a Windows 7 problem.

What do you mean by "pop up"?

Does it show as a replacement for your home page?

Then reconfigure your home page. You might have to find a cure for home
page hijacking.

Does a pop-up appear at a later time? Maybe you need to find an
offending add-on.

AFAICT by a quick look, it is a legitimate program for business users.

I believe there are newsgroups for IE10, or for IE generally, and
someone there might know the answer.

As a last resort, Google for google tag manager. There are lots of hits,
including help or document sites. You might be able to find a solution
(which you could post here if you do).

Not to mention that someone here might know more that I do on this
topic...be patient

In fact, Andy Burns may be that person, and he posted even before I
clicked Send!

I did not sign up for it unless something added it on. It does not
appear to be an add on and does not show up all the time. Also my home
page is fine. I will snoop around some more. Maybe some of the web
pages I visit have a way of activating it. Did not find a clear
solution in my internet searches regarding how to stop it from ever
showing up again.

From my research it appears the web page itself initiates this tag
manager and the way to get rid of it is to make sure you have java
disabled which I did not. I have now disabled java and I will see if I
have another occurrence of this.

I'll be honest with you. I couldn't figure out, how this
tool works, where it does the edits, and who it was intended for.

In some example code, it looked like a section of code could be
added to a web page, to aid in the execution of the tags. The code
is written in "Javascript", which is *not* Java. Disabling Java
should not change this behavior.

So then the question would be, what bad code was added to the
Google Tags section of the web page source code.

The next time you have this error, look at the Error Console
(if one is available). And try a "Save as" from the File menu,
and try to save the "complete web page". On some browsers, that
results in a folder of files, of all the files associated
with the web page. Then, you can use a text editor, to look at
any JavaScript files, and find the Tag Manager section.

Maybe that code is added manually. Or, that code is added automatically.
And there's a bug in that code. Your browser downloads the web page
with the buggy code in it. And, tried to run it. And some other code,
apparently trapped on the bug (and gave a dialog).

That's about all I can conclude. I just can't figure out why
anyone would want to mangle their web page source that way
(trust a third party to do edits).
