on this site or in general?

if this is a family friendly forum, then there shouldn't be any non family friendly ads.

teehehe someone has **** geared spyware ... my normal route is to start with Microsoft's spyware program, which you can get for free if you have legit windows xp. might start there. Most other programs I use are retail, and surely there's a free way of dealing with it..... gl

Keep in mind this madness is on my WORK PC

Lucky I have some admin priviledges on this particular PC so I installed ad-aware, rebooted, and uninstalled.

No more non-PG13 ads - I'm curious where it came from so I can not do whatever I did before...
