Hmmmm, I didn''t see anything strange. I re-freshed 6 times and they were all the normal ps vendors. What new advertisers are showing up on your screen?

[DiamanteBlu]

Oops, there we go - PS vendors.

Hmmm, that''s strange, not seeing it on my lap top. Use the admin button and ask them....

 

[Dancing Fire]

my daughter just did a cut and copy for me. here''s an example...weird

 

[asscherisme]

Wow, thats odd. I only get pricescope vendor ads. Never anything else. Could you have a virus on your computer?

 

[Miranda]

I had an ad for PB Kids once. I thought it was strange, too.

 

[beau13]

You likely have Spyware! Either that, or you''re spending far too much time on PS, and now your eyes are going "buggy" playing tricks on you!

 

[Dancing Fire]

here''s another one. sometimes i get PS vendor''s avertisements sometime i don''t.

 

[beau13]

I wouldn''t lose sleep over it DF....

 

[PaulaW]

nope... only pricescope vendors for me.

 

[choro72]

If you use Firefox, the AddblockPlus addon will take care of it. If you use Opera, you can put in the pricescope ad address to block it.

 

[LadyBlue]

It''s normal, nothing has changed

 

[kcoursolle]

Yup, I think you have spyware....

 

[anyname]

nope. How would spyware affect the ad placement?

 

[packrat]

That''s odd..I''ve always just had PS vendors.

 

[meresal]

DF. I just got one, and it yelled at me. I know for a fact that I don't have spyware... weird indeed.

ETA: Just got a new one, and they are all have voice overs. Uggh...

 

[Skippy123]

No only in old threads on the right but that has been there. eeek you have spyware.

I was seeing that a lot earlier today. Never noticed before!

your computer is infested with spyware.
Download and run malwarebytes

Do not do any online shopping or banking until you get it cleaned up.
Then change your passwords.

 

[MonkeyPie]

I was just about to tell you what karl said. But yeah, you have something bad! Don''t do anything especially private on your computer until you run some anti-virus software.

 

[meresal]

I just ran and cleaned my hard drive last night. Strmrdr, You don't think it's a little odd that it started happening to people today?

ETA: I will be talking with FI about what he has been clicking on....

DF, run you computer for spyware.

Make sure you get rid of your temporary internet files or clean your cache also and run another virus scan before doing anything involving personal info. Sometimes you can pick things up from the most innocent appearing websites - you just never know where a virus may be lurking so having a good anti virus defender is an excellent precaution.
