Quackers Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Anbody else had the advert like on this screenshot? (Right hand side) Noticed some threads from last year about this, but looks like its back again, just hope the filters would grab it if i was in school, would not look good on a projector.
PEO Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Nice!! thats something not to be seen on your screen at work!
vikpaw Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 count yourselves lucky, here in saudi i keep getting this dating site advert with a picture of a ninja woman (nothing but eyes).
EduTech Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 wondered why NETSWEEPER was showing on the right hand side at work sometimes
webman Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Heh. Perhaps this a manifestation of ZeroHour and Bossman's potential future ventures... 1
john Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Heh. Perhaps this a manifestation of ZeroHour and Bossman's potential future ventures... hehe, will it be called Adult-Edu or something more alluring
elsiegee40 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'm getting the "The webpage cannot be found" in that space at the moment
localzuk Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 As was the case with my machine where I tested it, have you ran a spyware scan lately? It could be something hijacking the ads...
contink Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'd be checking to make sure you don't have a virus or adware, etc lurking on your machine...
Quackers Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 I had 1 more adult advert after that one appear and its been normal adverts ever since, such as ebay or a powertool. The adult one said the link was from doubleclick.net i presume it was legit and somthing not attaching its self to adverts on my machine. Ad-Aware found nothing.
tom_newton Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Where is it coming from? I have noticed adbrite serving up a few risque ads recently, all I can recommend to our customers is either block ads (not so hot for edugeekers who need the support) or just blacklist adbrite for being inconsiderate.
ChrisH Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 The last time someone was getting ads like that, it was their machine had an adware infection. I doubt that kind of stuff is in IDGs catalogue.
