Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:21 pmAnyone notice the large influx of advertising on avsim.com and flightsim.com? Or do I have a virus?
I'm using ZoneAlarm, AVG 7.5, Spybot S&D and Lavasoft AD Adware to keep my system clean

Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 4:05 pmIm useing firefox 2 with no add blocks (for some reason the downloading of the add bloker seems harder than putting up with the adds!) and I can see excacly the same amount of adds as have been since I joined avsim..
Your on fast internet anyway, its us "56kers" that suffer most from adds... (unless you downloaded a hell of alot and were slowed down to dial up
