| Ad pop-up windows everytime visit www.dslreports.com
I noticed since yesterday that everytime I visited www.dslreports.com and browsed through forums without actually log into my account, my browser (Mozilla Firefox 3.5) suddenly showed pop-up windows of some ads. I ran antivirus, antispam, and everything suggested in the Security Cleanup and found nothing.
I wonder if anybody else had the same experience, or was the pop-up windows site bugs (read: www.dslreports.com has been hacked), or simply new feature? |

It is one of the perks for getting an account that we dont get ads. |

Ok then maybe it is something new. I have just heard that anon users see ads where registered users dont.
I never browse here as anon so I have never seen any pop ups or ads. |

I'm not sure, but I think google manages the ads on the site. |
