Jim I’ve noticed that the top main advertiment bar has flashing ad for sex, that’s right sex. Is this something new, is the site being hacked or is it my computer. I have some screen shots of such ads. I must have opened and closed 15 different time getting the same results only with different ads. Here's one...

Edit: I removed pic.

I’m also getting new window pop-ups saying that the computer is being watched. Do I need to delete cookies and re-sign in.

That's weird. I have a Lucky Models ad in that position.
Probably clearing your cookies and maybe running an ad-ware program ?

Cheers and good luck,

Not a computer expert but it looks like you need to get some anti-adware software and run it, someone is inserting these ads on your computer. A clean sweep by an anti- virus program is also probably in order.. These things are fairly well hidden, just getting rid of your cookies probably won't do the trick.

Ok...seems that everything is good for now. I deleted cookies, ran Lavasofte Ad-Aware program, scan disc and did a system restore to an earlier time. So far the banners are model (plastic) orientated.

Thanks,
Joe

Phew... from the title I thought we were facing a Mongol horde or something.



Glad it all sorted out though.

I had the same problem a few months back. After I ran three different spy ware programs, I finally got rid of it.

try lookin in you local settings folder then go into the temp folder or the temporary internet files folder.
You may be quite surprised at the amount of files that build in these 2 folders. And its quite often that these adware or spyware files are in one of these folders

To get to these files you have to make all your hidden files not hidden through the tools tab at the top then into folder options.
