annoying ad at the top of the page I was viewing LS6 intake manifold in the ls1 external engine section. There was a flashing page ad with a constant error sound that said I was the lucky winner. It popped up to this page. http://www.consumeropinionbureau.com...811aaa:144674:
I have no problems with most of the ads/sponsors. This one with the error dinging constantly just seems to go too far. Specially since it was the default Windows sound and I am running a Mac. I just thought that this ad is not up to the quality that is LS1tech.

That is a virus, not a sponsor. Run your antivirus and it should go away.
We have had users run into this problem at www.NJFBOA.org before.

I use firefox but the ads at the side of the screen disappear when I use adblock. 
is there a way to have them but not the ones at the top?
for right now I just have http://www.consumeropinionbureau.com in my blocked list.
