Ad when opening Cyclingnews dot com

[Saab2000]

Does anyone else get a pop-up gambling ad when opening Cyclingnews? Seems kind of fishy....

Not here, tried 3 setups:

1. XP with Firefox 28 (w/ adblock + ghostery + flashblock + host file)
2. XP with IE 8 (host file to block advertising sites)
3. W7 with IE10 (how does anyone browse with all the flashing cr*p that gets loaded by default).

Interesting..... Not good.

Been getting ads on safari on macbook on multiple sites. Thought it was just me.

When I open Google I get Irish Google. Not US Google. I might need to reset my browser or my whole computer. Anyone have tips?

Sorry for the tangential topic but I figured something was wrong when I've opened Cyclingnews over the past day or so.

TIA

Simple. Use Chrome or Firefox and the AdBlock Plus extension. Works with youtube and pandora as well. AdBlock Plus makes web browsing so nice.

At the very least I'd clear my browser cache (along with history and cookies). That's always a good first step when internet weirdness occurs.
