I mentioned this a while ago when I first started seeing the ad. I run Windows XP Pro with Firefox 3.5.3, and in the instance I get TWO of that ad on the same screen, I get fucked up badly...

Its not about the 2 ad's thing.. for me, its that ad specifically... i mean, the toyota thingys are okay... but the one with all red, with some kinda free credit check or something.. with the white lines on the background.. that one fucks me up BAD.

^ I know what you mean, but imagine when you get TWO of that ad on the same screen (it can happen). With that, you'll feel like you have a computer from the 1990's.

looks like its the ad itself, and not the OS or browser..
If they are google ads , theres a way to block specific ads. something about blocking competing ads - u can block it by url.

By the way, always make sure your flash player is up to date. It is probably what is causing the performance issues, and is also very unsecure.

It usually takes a couple hours to block. I can't see the ad myself, so I can't test it.
The problem is almost certainly software-related, but since so many people are having it, we can block it for them.

Duh, they spelled their own fucking domain name wrong on their banner.
It should be blocked within a couple hours.
