Frank Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I have received it a few times, and it is VERY annoying. I am sure there is no spyware on my computer, and I have cleaned up cookies and my net cache, but I have still received it. I have received it on many different places all over neowin. I do not see it on any other site; it looks like it comes from the banner at the top of the pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Jade: It is not a popup add, it stays on the main page. It looks like it is a piece of Java Scrip that is added in to the top add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I havn't received that ad, have received one with the same mouse over action. It was for Cheap Tickets. I started a thread a few days ago about it here. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 This might sound stupid but could the server be hacked and could some have added a code to the source? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snippet1 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 This might sound stupid but could the server be hacked and could some have added a code to the source:huh:h: If the server was hacked, sure they could do it. But the likelyhood of that is not too hig:/:/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Where they to hack the server I am sure they would do more then just put up stupid ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I am just doing some thinking, I am not saying that they did hack the servers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I am sure the server wasn't hacked. The add is not showing up ALL of the time, and it doesnt seem to be showing up for everyone. It looks like it may be a random ad with the ad company neowin uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaceX Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Admins, is there some way we can stop this ad:huh:h: Yeah tell them to remove it, but it's not happening as I just got it a few minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I am sure when an admin reads this they will take immediate action. Just be patient. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 3, 2004 Yeah, the admins are pretty good at getting the bad ads right away. In the meantime, since it seems to only affect IE, why not try Firebird ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 That's why I don't have it. I am using Firebird! :D *Slaps himself on the head.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
