Kroms Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Aww, she's wearing a bra today. Is it OK if you take a screenshot?
s-island Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 It's just a Norwegian ad for the new Indy movie now.
Kroms Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 It's just a Norwegian ad for the new Indy movie now. You might have spyware...
s-island Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I already have AVG running and I'm not in the habit of downloading unknown crap. Why would spyware replace ads anyway..?
Thrik Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Whilst we're on the subject, I've seen a few "Hot pin-up girls" adverts where you design a woman... it's really weird (http://www.ugo.com/lifestyle/heromachine-pinup/) -- and very degrading to women! The whole point of pin-up models is to objectify women('s bodies), so I'm sure they'll lose no sleep over it.

s-island Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Well, there's nothing here. The only thing I've gotten for several years with the anti-whatever programs are false positives like Daemon Tools' hidden driver.
tabacco Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Spyware replaces ads to collect the ad revenue. You replace ad code that pays the site owner with ad code for an account that pays you. Some ISPs even do this, although they usually insert extra ads, rather than replacing existing ones. Remember that your web traffic passes through many layers that you might not even know about on its way from origin server to your browser. Any of those can affect content before it reaches you.
s-island Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Fine, next time I see something dodgy I'll keep shut because it's obvious all my fault and a conspiracy of the nazi jews who plan to take over the intarwebs...
Thrik Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Nobody from LucasForums administration has said you do have spyware — your feedback is useful, and it's already being followed up with the advertisers. tabacco was just saying that the possibility it was something else injecting the more explicit than usual ads is there. It'd be extremely useful if you could screenshot it next time, and provide the link the ad goes to like Gabez did. Then we can directly say "If this appears again you'll be downing soup for life" to the advertisers.
Kroms Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Fine, next time I see something dodgy I'll keep shut because it's obvious all my fault and a conspiracy of the nazi jews who plan to take over the intarwebs... Don't take it so hard, man, we're just saying it might be spyware, it's really just for your own safety (aka they could steal your credit card information). The Mojoers are already following up on it being potentially from the ads (or so they say). And it isn't the "Nazi Jews," it's actually just The Tingler and his multiple personalities. Edit: Edited to say that I sound like a dork. Zaar is king.
QueZTone Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Heh, whenever I hear the words 'FBI', 'drug lords' and 'mixnmojo' in the same sentence I freak out a little bit. heh.. I thought I was the only one who instantly thought of Spaff's involvement ;~
