Maybe your system has picked up something (virus/malware/rogue/etc.) because I'm not seeing anything. Link?


edit: Never mind, apparently you are not the only one...

Yep....same one I got. I was doing a search in the for sale section when I got it. I clicked on it to shut the thing up (kept making noises) I figured it was a safe link since its on here...but a bunch of pop-ups started opening...

I would like to complain about another ad banner that forces a forward to another website. It came up when I was in the midwestern members area. It took me completely out of ls1tech.com and then forwarded me to usspeed.com.

sounds like malware on your system.

Suggest you go to http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html
And run their on-line scanner.

If you are lucky it may remove the malware.

No its not malware. I am a computer specialist with the military and I also work on computers on the side. It was with the website and one of their ad banners.
