|  Adware/Spyware
Hey, do you guys realize the forum is loaded with adware/spyware now? I run a program to get rid of it every time I'm on on the site now. If anyone's computer is slowing down, I suggest you check for adware/spyware.
BTW, I did make sure by cleaning off the adware/spyware before I came on the site and then immediately after. The longer you are online, the more you get.

I noticed this, but I gave up complaining about adds etc because nobody with sufficient authority seems to give a fuck.

I haven't noticed them but I'll PM Cruz and see what he knows. Neither of us really have any power over the adds. That's all under the umbrella of the guy that owns the site.

Well at least this should make people aware. "Ad-Aware" seems to catch all of them, at least from this site. You can download the program for free.

The popups are getting increasingly agressive now, y'know the ones that whatever you click it tries to install shit. I think it's starting to take the piss to be honest. I've probably done a dozen accidental clicks now, and it fucks me off that someone is making money from deliberately wasting my time and computer resources.

I don't know what combination of programs it is that I'm running that does the trick, but I don't have any popups or banners or hyperlinked words anywhere on the site. I've noticed the stuff when I log-in from other computers, but my home PC I don't see anything. No popups, no banners, nothing.

Same with me. I have the preimum norton so i don't see anything, even annoying banners are blocked completely. If there is a windows installer when you open a page on the forum that should not be there. That stuff drives me absolutely crazy because it's completely uncalled for to mess with people's pcs and i doubt anyone gets more enraged than i do when it happens/happened to mine. But they weren't suppose to be on here, the owner was getting ads and telling them no windows installer crap with them but apparently if some of you are still getting it, those ad idiots aren't listening. We'll have to let him know and get that taken care of.
Doghouseboxing just started this shit with windows installer and popups and banners like crazy, i don't even go there anymore to read news because of it.

I've got nothing but google blocker and I don't see a f'n thing. Once every 10 pages (just a guess on the amount) I see a normal TribalFushion pop up window that's easily closable with one click. Aside from that and blue links, I haven't seen anything on the forums.

using firefox smashes any popups / adware.
