Not getting anything either. Maybe because we are paid sponsors
I'd say one of the advertisers are doing a dodgy
Is it still happening Benny?

What virus protection do you have?
There is a virus which some software doesn't detect which puts a script into your browser to show pop up ads on certain sites which they can generate money from. Completely harmless but annoying for the user.
The thing is on the top advert I've noticed some ads that are displayed that if you leave your mouse cursor over the advert for 5 seconds it generates a pop up flash advert too.
Ill trade you for a 6 month old with German measles and my home loan repayments... :)Quote:

You can either purchase malwarebytes which detects malware automatically in real-time, before it can infect unlike the free version or you can just use the free version every few days
Just read this on AVG's site
Adware software can display and/or download advertisements and may be considered privacy-invasive. Adware applications are however not harmful and their detection is disabled by default in AVG. Adware tracks your computer's web usage to feed you undesired ad pop ups or redirect you to unwanted pages.
So that at least clarifies that anti virus software does scan for adware
