    sysopt have aware???

    I really thinking that sysopt puts out aware. Why? Well cause I keep seeing this ad.doubleclick.net and i get pop ups now. It may just be one pop up, but before there was none.

    Steve: Can you figure out what this member is talking about?

    Is there any spyware/adware on the website?

    what ad is this? I am not gettin any popup.

    I dunno if you are aware of this, the forums has not had any ads for some time now.

    perhaps you need to update your hosts file.

    ad.doubclick.net is on just about every website you go to. If the site has a clickable ad, its there.

    I'm not getting any popups, but Firefox 1.0 is blocking a popup , IE6 SP2 isn't and I'm don't have it set to allow popups, which is weird. So, check your settings, Tech^ .

    If your not aware of it Steve , the link is

    "http://amch.questionmarket.com/adscgen/invite.php?survey_num=18397..."

    *The popup generates every page

    BTW, I don't have a beef , just pointing it out to Tech^ and anyone interested. I have bills, too.
