    Could you elaborate on this? Do you know which ad this is that contains spyware? Was it a pop-up or pop-under? Also, did you get this using IE or Firefox?

    I'm also very concerned about spyware.

    I have a toolbar capable of blocking ALL ads on this site but it only works with IE and I usually use Firefox.

    I use Firefox

    Its that stupid IE box that you have to click ok or cancel on. But I have to click cancel like a million times before it goes away.

    Oh, that! Yeah, I think that's an annoyance also. If yo click cancel and then very quickly scroll down past the top of the screen, then that dialogue box will not re-appear.

    If you clik on "yes" (I wouldn't) do you know if it will cause some kind of spyware or malware to be installed on your computer?

    Most likely, if anybody has clicked it, they should run ad-aware or spybot search and destroy.
