    Ok, as of midnight last wednesday 12th, we've removed all flash and now only have an animated gif as an ad.

    If ANYONE is seeing the adserver popup since then please reply here....

    Did you check the PC you're using for ad-ware azezil?
    I still have not gotten one pop up but I do get some cookie warnings from images in peoples sigs. My PC is completely free of ad-ware to my knowledge (whether it's actually free is a whole different story :) )

    Well I use Ad-Aware to scan for ad-ware and spyware. You'd be surprised how many components are on your PC that you don't even know about.

    no, I'm only interested in the popups that are going to adserver.digiserve.ie
    They come up with a blank page and the letters "tt" ... anything else is something on your computer acting up.

    Ad-aware, as I'm told by a few people (Robbo being the primary source) is actually spyware itself.
    It cleans out everyone else's, and then sets itself up.

    Opera has a built in pop-up stopper, but that stops the boards PM windows popping up too.

    Companiues should be fined for using such methods.
