Pop Up Ads!!!???
Geoff, Twice today i've gotten pop up ads on DVDTALK!!! ?!?! The first time i thought it was a fluke, maybe something on my desktop i didn't notice and maybe it just hopped up, but this i only had DVDtalk open! It happened in the "has anyone had a playcentric order arrive on time?" thread. this is the ad that came up:
http://www.1ad2srvr-cpt-v1.com/ad/sh...172%26nojs%3D1
The other pop up that happened earlier was experienced in the "other bargains" forum, but i can't be certain which thread, cause i simply dismissed it as not originating from DVDtalk.
Any ideas on how this happened?

Odds are your system is 'infected' by spyware.

I'm almost positive i don't have any adware on my system, but i'll double check. I just wanted to make sure no one had snuck one into a post somehow.
thanks.

I would also like to add my thanks.
I think this issue should be brought to the attention of DVdtalk members. I never heard of spyware until this evening. My first assumption was "God damn DVDtalk -- i cant believe they have resorted to pop-up windows. If i wanted them, I would go look at some porn".
After scanning my system, if found over 100 items to be cleaned.
