Is it just me, or do you guys see a bunch of red links that go to crappy sites?

Hmm...the page is normal and then automatically reloads with those links in it...

In firefox, even the little page picture changes to two arrows.

uhh... don't the forums have text link ads when your not signed in?

If it's not that, then maybe you have a spyware problem. Run ad-aware and spybot search & destroy ( I've also heard microsoft anti-spyware is good).

EDIT-
Yeah, it is only when you're signed out:

Definatly spywear on your computer. If you can't get it off, check your processes and start killing programs.

Somehow, I don't think that randomly stopping programs will do anything...besides, it'll just come back when I restart my compy.

You guys are.. slow.

When you're not logged into the forums, it displays text ads from clicksor.com.

Did you.. not notice? Firefox doesn't display it, so I never saw it, but I noticed it loading the script so I blocked it with Adblock.

No, I'm sure that anyone who's used it would recommend it.

By the way, welcome to the forums Jigga.
