I would like to take a moment to help clarify that this is not adware on someone's pc.

The ads that are being discussed are ads in the ATS/BTS page header/footer. They expand when a mouse passes over it. They are not random popups.

Since they are shockwave/flash, it is difficult to find their origin. You can't seem to get the origin from the view source, and most of them don't give you time or won't allow you to right click and select properties.

Below is a visual aid to help with clarity about the popups that are being discused. This particular AMEX ad did let me view its properties, and does resolve to C5.Zedo.com





c5.zedo.com... /OzoDB/b/2/178561/V1/amex_goldMR_728_2x_exp_SB_1.swf (plus parameters)

Just trying to provide some clairity. I will continue to try to find the path to the origin, or their destination to help out.

Thank you. Carry on & have a great day!

(Mod edit: Put URL tags on that humongous link to keep it from sporking the page width. Oh and thanks for the very detailed info. I couldn't have put it better myself -- and I'm glad I wasn't going crazy. --Majic)
