Re: Online ads get in your face

There seems to be at least two sources of ads on the "passthison" page. First, there seems to be Java script calling for popups. Here is a section of the code:
    <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
    Xoffset= -60; // modify these values to ...
    Yoffset= 20; // change the popup position.
    function popup(msg,bak)...
    function popup2(msg,bak)...
    function popuppink(msg,bak)...
Then there is also a Macromedia Flash call:
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com
    /pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab...
So it looks as if there are two things at work here to bring you so much junk!!

Of note, with disabled ActiveX and Scripting I see NO popups, popunders, etc.

Also of note, it appears that a source of some of those ads and popups is this site: server224.smartbotpro.net

Time to add that to Hosts!
