That's odd. I don't get any ads at all on the forum page. I use Google Chrome for my browser so you'd think Google ads would show up.

I have Ad Block Plus on my Firefox. No ads for me! I heart ABP

Completely free. Another reason I switched to Firefox. They have tons of cool add ons and they're free.

Firefox is way safer than IE anyday! My daughter used to chew viruses constantly until I loaded FF on her laptop and it stopped a lot of the issues she was having.

I get that one too! Sometimes in English, sometimes in French - suppose they want to be SURE that I understand it!

I thankfully wasn't dealing with viruses when I had IE, but both my friend and boyfriend, who are computer programmers/IT/whatever were very insistent I switch from IE to Firefox.

So two people could be looking at the same page and see different ads.

In any case, I blocked that particular domain so we shouldn't have any ads from them any more.
WHOA! The book 1984 might have been a bit off in the year - but not in the idea that someone somewhere can access almost anything and everything about a person.

I appreciate your mentioning how much info can be gathered from little bits posted here and there.
