    nope.

    its a company owned and operated site, why WOULD there be any pop-ups? or banners, for that matter.

                  Did you click on a link to AO, or go to the forums from a bookmark?

                  What site were you on before you came to AO?

                      You may have an adserver installed without you knowing it.

                      Get this and you will trip out what has been installed on your computer - WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE!



                      It's a program called "Ad-Aware".

                      Good luck!

                            Those started popping up on me last night when I was surfing eBay. I clicked a couple links in the popup itself and it told me the programs I needed to remove in order to stop them. They turned out to be called Weathercast and Clocksync (there might be more). Go to Add/Remove programs and see if they, or any other suspicious programs, are listed there.

                            Ad-aware (Ad-watch, specifically) caught it but did not prevent the install.
