I have a question for any of you computer savvy guys out there. When I click on a link to Ebay that is posted here I am being taken to a page that begins with ads.auctionads........ and the page comes up blank. Anyone here know why?

Sorry to put this question here but since this is the section that has the links I figured it was pertinent.

You have Spyware on your computer. Go to this website, download Ad Aware 2007 SE Personal (it's free) and run it on your computer. It should clear off the spyware that is re-directing your search engine.

Thanks, I had a feeling that was the deal but I wanted to make sure it was just me.

Running a scan right now.

I just looked at the bottom of the page and saw the advertisement of some ebay items. The ad states "ad by auctionads.com". That is pretty coincidental. Is this just me or is anyone else having issues because of this? I used to never have any issues and now I can't link and I get redirected to the site that is advertising on this site?

I am not so sure if I came to this affliction elsewhere or here. Either way it stinks being stonewalled when trying to view ebay links. I would hate to think that I somehow got a spyware program from navigating this site.

I just went to Jimbo's section and clicked on a link and it went straight to RunScott's auction with no redirect so it is definitely with AZ.

If you hover over a link here and look at the taskline at the bottom of your screen at the destination of the link all I see is a redirect. I have checked it on 3 different computers.

There is a redirect in place for ebay links that directs them through auction ads. But I am not seeing any problem with clicking the links and getting to the correct auctions.

Can you give me an example of an auction post that is acting up?

Wow.....Nice revenue generator there AZ. I think that this altering of added links by members should be forbidden even by Ad Programs administered by the site mods. And yes after waving over a few ebay links I see the adclicks re-direct. I have also had problems here the past few days with links to ebay. Some will not show up, some ebay will not recognize and some just take forever to load waiting on the re-direct to send the correct signals.

I say be gone with the re-direct. I you want us forum users to make you click bucks than wait for us to click on the link on the bottom of the page.

Thanks

This is basically the same issue I am having but the link never completes. I use my other computer that has XP and the link completes but takes a while. On my new computer w/ Vista the link never completes.

I sent my computer to a buddy that is a network and database consultant and he said the issue deals with tracking cookies aka adware.
