What kind of AD is this? Im hoping this is a one time thing, a fluke.

 

You'll probably see it again. Looks like you've got some adware on your computer.

 

Are you sure thats adware? If you look at the top is says click here to continue to the forums, and my computer is pretty secure.

 

yes that would be adware

 

that message at the top of the page?? that is not adware on your computer. that is done through code on the website itself.. lots of sites have it now.. has nothing to do with anything installed on your computer.. just a new way for forums and other such sites to advertise..

 

That is odd, because I have never seen that before. I'd have to say that is adware.

 

Scan your computer with these:

Lavasoft Adaware:

Spybot:

The home of Spybot-S&D!

 

No, he has adware on his computer that's intercepting his browser requests and sending him to a different page.

 

Alright, next time Im on my laptop Ill scan it with spybot, see what I get. Glad its not on the site, thanks.

 

I have seen those too... I run anti-adware all the time and there is none... common sites are like consumption junction and such. you find it alot on those sites. not all the time mind you.. Mostly if it was Adware you would see it ALL the time. not just randomly on certain sites.. In fact i will even run the two spyware removers myself and post results lol


Ran them.. found 1 adware... got rid of it.. visited site i consistantly see those types of ads on.. they still there... so hmm. maybe the site installs it on the computer through an exploit to the browser?? Seems sorta far out there.. but i guess it is possible. I used to program websites to have ads pop up like that. did it randomly throughout the site so you would never know when it was coming lol...

 

I take back what I said, I just had it happen to me. I may have something, but it is the first time I have ever seen it happen before.

 

Yeah that would definately be adware. We have not placed any advertisement that is so obtrusive that it takes over your browser and starts doing pop-ups or pop-unders.
