I too went there on your link, no problem. That said, I think the “badware” Google is talking about is the same crap Google itself uses to run targetted ads while you’re on their site. My blocker stopped one pop-up, but I noticed that one of the sidebar ads was for my regional telephone carrier.

What I *think* this means is that Lucianne has a contract with an agency that reads your ISP and then inserts targetted ads into the various ad spaces on the Lucianne pages. I sincerely doubt that “telus” is available in California, for example, so a different, locality specific ad would be inserted there instead.

Just a thought. I’m never wrong, but I have been mistaken.

LOL!! That is funny!

I run my scans often and do pick up some adware because I do searches for images for my graphics. Lucianne has a lot of ads now so they probably do put cookies on us.
