As I have been on WHT today I notice they have ads to quit smoking, spyware stopper and for some tanning sun lotion lol, I am wondering if these are legit or if this PC is running spyware that is somehow changing the banners on me?

You must have some spyware. I haven't seen any and have been online at WHT alot in the past week. I, actually, don't think I've ever seen any ads that aren't it related.

We aren't running anything like that; has to be some type of spyware.

Thanks for all of your help, I had just never seen any spyware that could change things like that before so I guess they are getting even worse. I ended up being infected pretty bad and this was the 'family' PC so the kids use it alot and this is not the first time so after learning from past experiences I made an image for this PC and it only takes about 20 minutes to reimage it when it happens.
Thanks again

Yea, I got the dating banner too. Strange to have a dating site trying to have exposure in a different field!

Some of the dudes who post here hardly ever see the sunshine, so to go on a date would be even rarer

You may see a few Friendfinder.com banners, those would be running across the network currently, but no tanning or anything else that has been mentioned. I figured some of you guys/gals might benefit from it
