Popups on AO?

[BTAutoMag]

Is anyone else getting popups from the AO website?? i dunno about you but once about every 3 days i come on i get this wierd bikini babe popup telling me to... well to do stuff. i know its not just my computer at home because i get them at school to. i think someone may have this program in their sig or somewhere unseen

It's because of stored cookies in your browser. AO does NOT have popup ads. I'm willing to bet you browsed the same bikini page at school as you did at home and it stored the same cookie on both computers.

happens after you surf around for a bit. sometimes programs will piggyback on other programs you download, a variety of things can happen. I recommend you get ad-aware (messes up Kazaa b/c of all of Kazaa's spyware) but basically, ad-aware removes programs on your computer that do things like your bikini pop-up and other spyware which logs and reports your web surfing, computer using habits without your knowledge or consent.
