Ugly advertisements

[BigFurryMonster]

Some company named "Cydoor" is displaying very ugly advertisements over the Apolyton page, in a different language than the one in the Forum (probably based on my IP address). I also need to click on it for it to move away.

Do the Apolyton mods realize that this is very annoying?

I can see the need for ads, but not in this way!

So what's the ad for exactly?

Some IQ test (which you just failed. )

[DrSpike]

Hehe, but what is the product? Are they expecting you to pay to learn you are stupid?

[Maquiladora]

Cydoor is evil spyware. Kill it.

[MarkG]

please provide all possible url's you can get from the ad (from any link, image location, html source of the ad)

As Maqiladora said, it´s evil spyware. AFAIK it has nothing to do with Poly... Info on how to remove it: http://www.spywareguide.com/product_show.php?id=7

Get a good browser...

Strange. I only get it on Poly, and particularly on that Forum.

Will look into the URL / HTML next time I see one.

That is really weird...

I just got a similar one, only it was an advertisement for smilies. It was flash, but I couldn't find any way to get a url unfortunately.

I haven't seen any ads for months.

Just got another one. Cydoor again. Clicking it linked to:

and the redirect got me to:

http://euro.tridentlounge.com/home.php?bTag=tlxy_pk720x300_042005&lang=en

I saw it on a private Apolyton Forum:

http://apolyton.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=244

Come to think of it, that's the only Forum I'm getting them at. Maybe this has to do with the fact that I open that Forum first, and I'm only getting the ads during the first screen of my Poly session.

There are private forums? Other than the mod forum I mean...
