    Re: Strange and annoying

    Sorry - Just had three in about 10 minutes.
    This is a corporate Pc so malware is unlikely, and I'm only getting them on Hexus.
    Happy to help stamp this out. Tell me what you need to know, and I'll do what I can.

    Re: Strange and annoying

    Was this on the forums or main site? This is an important question in light of the work I did this weekend.

    Cheers.

    OK I've pretty much narrowed this down to the agency in question so I'll ask some questions about it tomorrow.

    Re: Strange and annoying

    Two more this morning. Both Flash one took me to http://www.facebook.com/snickers, the second was for 3M. I assume that my work's US ISP is the reason for the US-based ads.

    EDIT: Three now, this one took me to http://amch.questionmarket.com/surve...-pc-games.html

    Re: Strange and annoying

    Actually that's a point. The first time this happened I was on a Chevron platform, I don't know how their network/internet is structured, but ti could be routing through the US.
