[Solved]New iPhone Advertisement

Not a bad idea. Have you seen the number of issues relating to IE8 at aumha.net?

Hello,

This not only continues, but is getting worse. . .

Now, some of the "ads" launch additonal windows that are not easy to close. . . I also have reason to believe that some of them are adding malware to the system.

Sorry, but i can't give the full urls because they change too fast to see/record and i've not been able to stop them "in flight". They include things beginning with:
"ads.quixsurf. . ."
"adyieldmanager. . ."
"a.tribalfusion. . ."
"ox.arcade. . ."
and quite a few others. The ads (not counting the improperly launched additonal pages) take longer to load than the entire topic.

Replacing the obnoxious iPhone audio are several new ones including the "Contratulations, you've won a Nintendo Wii" at high volume.

Thank you,

d

Hi Mac,

I'll be on the road for the next few days, but will try to capture some screenshots when i return.

If i'm able to log in over the weekend, it will be on a 56k connection - yuk.

Thanks,

d

Hi Mac,

Back on a "real" connection

Attached is a word doc that has some screenshots of the ads.

Noticed something while using the dial-up connection. The (audio / graphic) commercials are not presented on the dial-up line - only text advertisements are displayed.

Hi Mac,

For the past 4 days or so there have been none of the problem ads

Just wanted to post an update. . .

Thanks,
