    i just got a pop-up ad for Disney videos which claims to be "http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/private.php?s=&action=newmessage&userid=9218", which I think is unusual, any comments?

    I have corrupted the links with "[i][/i]"

    On clicking it went through http://oz.valueclick.com/redirect?host=h0259341&c=18&size=large&t=pop&banner=a0076097&vcurlpreserve=http://altfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/2823-11709-5944-5?mpt=1045684019.1761890&host_site_id=hs0259341

    Possibly some piece of spyware spying on your browser. Clean it out with ad-aware...... :)

    *deep breath*

    We never EVER EVAAAAR have, do or will use popups.

    Ever.

    Its in the "we'd be hiding behind the server shouting you'll never take us alive coppa! before we'd do this" list.

    Right next to "Selling our mailing list."

    DeVer.
