| Golden Moray  | I'm sorry. I'll behave and put the right ones back. Just Kidding.  This sounds like spyware from a free downloaded game or screensaver. Some spyware is designed to replace popups and banners with ones of it's choosing. Another possibility is a cable modem or DSL without a firewall. A port-sniffer might have found an open port and they got on your computer without you even knowing it. Pop Up and Spyware

| Golden Moray | Thanks very much, everyone. I received an email back from the member which stated that they think that someone in their household may have visited some 'questionable' sites "...and now the banners are showing up on all sponsor pages. I dont think this is a problem with your site i think it is a problem here." Thank you!

| Contributing Member   | I have no ad ware or pop up stoppers and there has never been pop ups with RS. AOL has now teamed up with McAfee and for just $3 a month you can get virus and spy ware protection. Not to mention all the cool free wares out there! HIH S
