I recently wiped the computer, and reinstalled Windows on it, and the banner (which was only showing up on this forum, mind you) went away. It was some stupid advertisement (always the same ad) for some restaraunt. I am not the only person that uses this computer, and one of the people like to goto pogo and other such ad-supported sites all the time...
The "Banner" was between the EQemu logo and the FAQ, etc. section. Excuse me if I assume that an AD that only appears on THIS FORUM was caused by THIS FORUM. Thank you and good night.

There was a single instance of a drive-by download attempt. That Whenusearch crap. I know exactly what's on my computer at all times, my friend, it was not on my end.

uhh, scan my computer, eh? Well, first of all, I use Ad-Aware and Hijackthis regularly, just in case, even though I do nothing that will get my computer infected. Second, I have a firewall up. Third, I keep windows patched. Fourth, where I work, I deal with adware daily. I've had to kill some rather complex things, including a virus that Norton, AVG, etc. wouldn't even see. So, don't tell me it's on my side, ok?

Uh-huh. www.google.com will infect me, eh? At the most, there are a few cookies that'd be downloaded. Whoopty do! Who cares about cookies? I have cookies disabled. So what? They're not going to be causing the pop-ups, I will tell you that. I know what is on my computer, and I know what I saw.

Do I have an adware problem? No
Do I need help with this non-existant adware problem? no
Does Eqemulator.net use ads? Yes, banner ads via javascript. The particular one in question also tried to install an activex plugin hosted by WhenUsearch.

Ok, GC, you BASTARD, if you remember correctly, you FUCKTARD, I said that the ad, which is nowhere near a standard ad, was only on this site. Thanks, GG, Goodbye,.

What's the old adage? When you assume anything you make an ASS out of U and ME? Well guess that's not really fitting since you only really made an ass out of yourself. Especially since you're so knowledgable  You had to reformat/reinstall winblows to get rid of it? Let me guess... You're tech support for AOL?
