I did say "it could be ad supported"
this usually refers to some kind of toolbar installation or crowser redirection.


I would say its time to install an Adblocker, a working Firewall and an Anti-malware program Ron!

I hate these kind of sneaky "sidedoor" invasions, thats why I run all three programs I just mentioned.

oh...and don't allow cookie installations.
Only allow cookie exceptions.

Word to the wise...many of the malicious Search redirects and Toolbar installs are asked for during a program installation.
Many people ignore all the install options, like usually choosing the "default" installation,
which then goes ahead and installs unwanted components.

People should always be in the habit of installing any program using the "custom" installation
and paying attention to what components get installed.

ps I use Firefox which also helps block home page redirects.

That concludes this public service announcement from dave's card creations.
have a nice day and remember...if its raining, wear a raincoat.
