By banner, do you mean popup?

Do you have any other windows open?

Yea, if you had to "close" it, then you must be talking about a pop-up.

I guess somebody's computer is riddled with spy-ware.

Quick! Buy this man a copy of Ad-Aware. At FREE, it's cheap at twice the price.

Hmmn I can do a price match, coupon, eBates and top it off with a MIR.

Final price = 0

No, but they accidentally shipped me three for the price of one, so I'll let the other two go for half price. At least that way, I can break even on the deal.

spyware can do some weird ass stuff. at my work place, we were puzzled for a moment because users going to one of our sites would get sent to some company's website. took us a whlie to figure out that a piece of spyware was the culprit :disgust:

Your first popup? Please.

Your private sex life, even while alone at your keyboard, is of no interest to us.

Good one!

I'm getting pop-up windows too with Anandtech now - something about "We only need a minute of your time" with some guy in a suit and hat. Sorry, no screenshot here - I too have the instinctual urge to destroy all popups. And not the kind that Perknose is talking about.
