cochise Member You gonna pull them pistols or whistle dixie? 238 Posts 12/03	Posted - May 27 2008 : 6:41PM Anyone notice while viewing some web sites, that there are double underline links on seemingly various random keywords(In-text ads)and when moused over, generate a pop up ad? I don't know if I have picked up some malware, or if this is a new way to irritate rs. Wondering how to get rid of this. Any direction appreciated. [Link]
conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03	Posted - May 27 2008 : 6:46PM I've noticed it. Though not lately and I think I might know why. I suggest installing a plugin called No Script for Firefox. Link to no script page. [Link]

Maybe have others compare what they see on that page to see if what they get is the same as you. [Link]

Click to expand What's more annoying is that most of the ads are not even germane to what the article is about. For instance , if you're reading about storm windows, say, you get an ad for Microsoft Windows. It's totally nutty. [Link]
