Advertisement on my avatar?

Just made a new avatar and when viewed I'm getting a pop up (some camera ad) that shows up on the bottom :



is that normal? no one else seems to have this stuff on there avis, Am I the only one that views the irritant? or does everyone?

cheers

Looks like everyone is thinking the same thing i am thinking. Don't tell him! Kinda funny really. ahem.

alright

I've never seen this.

Probably just viewing it from my side, which is no big deal, I'll run C cleaner and Spybot I guess...

I had that happen once after adding a plug in to my browser for image exif data.

If you have anything like that installed you might want to remove it.

That's probably your best recourse at this point. First time I've heard/seen about this in all my years around here. Let us know if you find something (or not).

Great thanks for the response!!

What you could do if you have Mozilla add ons, you can look for the pic that you want, and then download a program that allows you to grab a picture and cut it to the desired files on your desktop of image document files. Its called "Pixir Grabber." This way you avoid annoying advertisements that are attached to pics online. Good luck!

Could have been worse. all we know right now is that you like to browse cameras. LOL

I don't get it, don't have a cam... don't need one lol..the other guy was cryptic as well in his comments.

Was thinking he didn't like my new avatar! Well, makes me feel better if it's because I go to funny sites and do bad things on the inter~web in the wee hours lol!
Are you guys funning me?

-seriously (I don't btw) now I'm paranoid!


PS I get it now, I think you weren't being sarcastic and in another situation there could have been a pretty donkey on the avatar. cheers

What i menat was it sounds like some kind of computer spyware or something. typically ads are generated from user history (in the modern world).

I wonder if it's the *free* version of **** *** *** picture editor I downloaded a few months ago. That would be a sneaky piece of work...

and wouldn't surprise me in the least...

btw haven't seen it (the ad) in a few days now, maybe a good computer cleaning did the trick.
