Tonight for some strange reason ads began popping up in the upper right corner of the main index page. Anyone else experiencing this?

Strange, do I have some malware that puts ads on my page?

I’m guessing malware. I haven’t seen any ads.

Yes, I just got an ad for “Mother Jones.” On Free Republic? Really weird.

The ads go away when you become a paid member.

Yes you have malware or some add-on for your browser or something like that

Yeah, probably.

Are you on a PC or Mac? If on a PC, you should probably run:

malwarebytes
adaware
spybot

Get those sites on a secure site, like http://download.cnet.com/ ...

I run those apps on my wife’s PC, and it typically finds all the nastiness ...

No, no ads here, and as i understand it that is contrary to Jim’s policy. And “Mother Jones?”! Could be a hack job.

All I get is “LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS” in red

Always assumed that was just directed at me, or is that on everybody?

Probably just me, mind you sometimes I see it when I have not even said anything? So I guess I am being watched LOL I can take it, but I dont see any commercials

Those are just NSA-bots that are snooping on your activity.

They search the internet for certain keywords, and then home in to each hit. They copy your activity by keystrokes and store it on NSA servers in case it’s needed in the future.

Just kidding, maybe.

3 words. Ad Block Plus

But FR doesn’t use ads, so you’ve picked something up from some other website.
