There should not be any video ads. Do you have any more details on what page this occurred on?

Its very hard VIRGE to control what comes in when ROTATING ADS are served..... (Ya cant stop what they send (I DONT THINK ANYWAY))

I have seen alot of sites have this same problem and all are serving ROTATING ADS... Its not you guys,its the providers!! (The ones that are issuing the ads for rotation)

Indeed. The rotating ads along with geotargetting make it difficult to find and control what gets served. AT's ad people can get any given ad pulled, but we have to be able to find it first to figure out what network it's coming from.

I think it has alot to do with cookies on someones computer,if they have ads blocked,etc...

If they have a google cookie with a search for some type of video device they may get a matching video ad....... Im not quite sure how it works but I gather im on the right track....
