    for the very first time today, EVERY time i click on a link on this website, my internet security program (kaspersky) detects a "trojan" (trojan.js.redirector.ra to be exact) with the google ads service, and denies it access.... im not seeing any ads now either...


    i dont really classify this as a problem, since my firewall is pretty much taking care of it, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this today?

    I think if you donate a penny it'll go away.

    Really stupid any annoying, but there ARE programs that filter that out for you.

    I read the title of this and assumed you found a Google Ad for Trojan Condoms... anyway, I've never really noticed those ads, don't pay attention because it doesn't really affect my browsing. The tiny bit of space they consume doesn't bother me, and I've never clicked ads like that anyway, just because they're typically irrelevant to what they actually advertised.
