Send me your email addresses!

I've captured a Screenshot of the "SURVEY" of PoA which can get me a $500 something or maybe, an iPad3. I managed to get the PrtScn before it disappeared but can't seem to paste it into this forum. I was successful in sending it to myself in an email; have received same and can FORWARD to whomever.

EDIT: It came from www.prizeszone.net, and there is some reference to Hillsdale, NH. Oh, the $500 bit is a Gift Card for which I would be a candidate.
I'll not be opening the Survey procedure. It only stays on the monitor for 30 secs.

Additionally, I just noticed that, under the "30 Days Remaining" until the 6Y9 Fly-in, at the top of the screen, if I put the cursor under the "Remaining" I get a pop-up: "Answer this (1) question and you could win the new iPad2." (or something like that)

I suspect you have some malware in there, perhaps hidden which is inserting those links.

Also are you using any kind of proxy? Some of the IP spoofing proxy sites have some pretty vile stuff going on in the background and similarly insert ads like that.

Actually, the other day, Adblock did block something for me on PoA once also on the homepage. Didn't happen before or since....

Yep, this is a client machine issue.

Some malware has inserted itself and is adding advertising to every page that you visit.

MC can't fix this, you need a very good malware scan and remove.

It's not happening on every page entry, only sporadically. I do have Malwarebytes which I run on a regular basis but it, apparently, hasn't caught it, yet. I'll run it again. Thanks for the responses.

A tip:

Get a clean computer and get one of the malware scanners that boots from a CD-ROM, and create a scan CD.

Most malware these days, once you're infected, will "cloak" itself from the virus scanning software. The only way to get a really clean scan is to boot from known-clean media, and CDROM, being read only, is often the best choice.

Does anyone else think creating malware should be a capital offensive? I'm getting really weary of miscreants wreaking havoc on innocent victims.

No. But caning seems to be in order. Given there is no way for them to ever payback the damage they cause, they should have enough skin in the game to deter them.

I bet that American kid that got caught spraying grafitti in Singapore back in the 90s never thought about doing it again.

Only if we lump the developers of Tapatalk into this bucket and off them too.
