Can someone make this damn thing go away, PLEASE!!!
I hate this f'n thing. Its driving me nuts!!!

I actually clicked on the stupid thing (thinking if it's on cbrforum, it should be ok) and got a bunch of stupid pop-ups.

Did anyone on the forum actually win? If someone can prove that they actually "won" I will shut up.

It's a google ad. has nothing to do with CBR forum. other than google buys ad space from forums, then people pay google to run ads. (its works something along those lines).

I dont think there is anything that can be done.

I have not seen it yet. I will pass the word along to Patrick... but if it's a google ad, I'm not sure anything can be done.

I am looking at it right now while I am posting this.

It has been showing for a few weeks now.

Do I see things that are un seen by others?

OK, everything is better now.
I no longer see bad things.

If you see the banner, run a scan for adware and get rid of it. Thats all it was.
