I believe I have not only eliminated this one, but others like it from appearing in the future (*crosses fingers*). However, in using this URL (address) I am not entirely certain of its source as it directs me at least to some "zero.gif" file.

If you see it again, or something similar, please post not only the URL (address) it leads to all but also a screenshot of the ad itself.

Thanks to everyone for bringing these types of ads to our attention. Even if in the end they turn out to not being served by an advertising agency we have affiliated with, we want to get to the source of the problem. We aim to kill these... obstructions on sight or report.

Fair comment.

That said, as I'm still investigating the first reported ad and am not certain that I have indeed "hit" all of those other reported ads, I'm leaving this thread open for at least a little while longer.

That was very honest - you could have claimed that that was your intention all along.

I've never had one pop up on Poly since I've gotten firefox...

I have some once in a while. Seldom, but it happens. And no, there's no spyware on my machine.

At my place of employment, we can only use internet explorer.

I believe I have eliminated not only the first ad mentioned, but any others of its kind from that advertising agency (one different than the one I "targetted" earlier).

Thanks again to all those who brought these latest concerning ads to our attention. Thread closed.
