You're late to the party. There were about 20 threads in here yesterday complaining about it. See the thread in the Technical Forum Issues on how to deal with it.

Ads? What ads? I haven't seen any ads at all in ages. If I link to some site, sometimes people complain about popups and tons of ads.. but I never know cause I don't see them :(

Oh well.

OK, I saw the thread in FI that they're HBO & BoA ads. I see them and the HBO one even says "rollever for video" (lol), but neither pop anything up when I rollever them.

Why people dont use FF with Adblock plus is so beyond me, I never see ads and haven't in a long time.

A lot of employers don't allow anything other than IE. Why people can't understand that is beyond me.

Looks to me like it still requires installation. Not everyone has installation rights on their work computer.

From what I gather the only installation required is at home when you install it onto your usb stick. From there you just pop it into any machine and it runs off the stick.
