Scroll over Pop Up Ads?

[King of Vrock]

Hey I've been noticing a lot of keywords in posts and titles are now links to advertisers, the most noticable is any instance of the Title for Pathfinder Companion subscribers linking to an E harmony ad bubble.

What's up with that? Is that on your end or is it a browser issue???

You should look at your computer configuration. No issues with popups here.

There is a lot of nasty spyware out there that does nasty little things to your setup. For starters, maybe try viewing the site on another computer to see if it is indeed your computer.

I'm sure Gary or Ross will be along soon to say much the same thing.

Have you accidentally installed adware like the ask.com toolbar? (which can sneak on when you install foxit reader for ex.)

[King of Vrock]

Good question... I'm on a shared work computer so it certainly could be anything you've mentioned.

Here's a
screenshot.

Nevermind... you guys are right. Mischief Managed.

If you have administrator privileges, go to add/remove programs and look for a program called ArcadeWeb.

Someone at your work has likely downloaded a free game from them, they install their adware along with the "free game".

If you ever see those kinds of things on paizo.com you can assume it's either a) some bad software installed on your computer, or b) April 1st.

Please don't do b) Snopes.com pulled a stunt like that a few years ago and I haven't been back.
