What's with these banner adds?

Tell me the URLs of the Image Properties and the Link Properties.

Ron,

I added "..." (forgot to do this as a customer walked in the shop) on to the url for his image in my quote so you could see where it was coming from.

Thanks...I see the Image properties but I need to see the Link Properties on his displayed item.

Edgesuite is a very big ad house that serves up legit banners.... not part of what we use, but something is substituting or routing his normal CC banner ad that would show in that spot.

Probably an ad highjack

These can be tough to get rid of since they use various worms and viruses to create multiple exe and dll files.

Restart your computer in safe mode then clear all contents from windows\prefetch folder also look at windows\system32 folder and delete recent exe files with goofy names like 16738.exe and the like. (just park them in the recycle)

Spybot and AdAware usually can catch the child files but almost never eliminate the payload file and it continually rebuilds the attack.

Highjack this! is pretty good at cleaning these out but it's not real user friendly. (you need to know what your going after) Ccleaner (crap cleaner) is a good registery cleanup tool which will help.
