LFG could you filter out that nasty popup add?
It's from amaena.com for some spyware scan stuff.

The popup ads have been removed, at least that's what I've been told by the advertising company, and I haven't seen one return. If you get one, please screenshot it for me and I'll check it out right away.

Also, to be clear, this other type of ad is a rollover ad - not a popup ad - since it only pops up when you put your cursor on it. I can't get rid of rollover ads, especially from major advertisers. If you don't like rollover ads, just don't hover your cursor on them.

Rollerover ad example:



When you put your cursor on it:

Was reading this thread and flipped back to the home page and IE popblocker went off stopping a pop up and then my anti-virus kicked in and stopped a trojan downloader....don't know if it originated from this site/ad...I think it was a ad software trying to ninjia install...or not but dam glad I had anti-virus running.

not complaining about the ads, but another nasty one that was running on the top was Error Safe. I didn't scroll on it or anything. It throws a pop up on the computer screen, tried to 'X' out of it, and it didn't matter, proceeded to bring up more shit, couldn't close out of the flames page or anything, ended up cntl alt del from task manager to close firefox.

I didn't mind popping in to read the latest hate against NPU (I miss Dovey) and seeing Jessica Simpson...
...I enjoyed it...
...Then I cleaned up and continued to read the site.

BTW...as long as the ads stay non-nude...I'm good. I surf at work.

I've asked them to take out the sound ads, will have to see what happens.

Thanks
