2. it's an ad
get a pop-up blocker or change you on-line protection
(also, always close pop up spam from the tool bar - never click on the ad or the ad's little x in the corner)

5. You should PM the administrators about this.

6. I realized it was an ad...
Just wondering if others had gotten it also. I will forward it on to the administrators.

Thanks! :hi:

7. I think you may have picked up some spyware.
Just for good measure, we have blocked advertising from gamevance.com.

But I think you may be getting this from a program on your computer. Perhaps someone in your family has been downloading games. See this:
