Roy,
The ads are basically placed two ways:
- By Google's software targeting ads to you based on sites you have visited, searches you have done, and ads you have clicked on. Sometimes those things don't work as intended.
- By de-slecting targeted ads by Google's 'AdChoices' thingy at the top or bottom of the ads - which can lead to you getting all kinds of ads for all kinds of things that you never clicked on, visited, or researched.
I de-selected the targeted ads choice and ... man-oh-man-alive ... the ads I started getting were some real dozies. The ads have sorted of sorted themselves out - almost like they are targeted based on searches I have made and things I clicked on to see WTF they were (big mistake on some of them).
It's 'technological progress' ... at least that is what they say it is. :)

That is not an ad from InspectionNews.
All we have are the banner ads. Nothing that would have an ad pop up and cover any part of the page.
I would recommend running a program to detect malware on your computer.
Keep me posted.

No adware..I went to Google's 'AdChoices' and turned it off.
So far good!

I did give you a heads up on that. :biggrin:
