adware?

Is this adware or something on my computer. I'm 100% sure that banner does not belong here.

Try scanning your computer with Spybot S&D and Adaware Se.

I use Ad-Aware 2007 on my computer, this is my "family computer" that is all f-ed up. My wife clicks and clicks and clicks on anything flashing and banner like. She is reason that they make these crappy, affiliate link stealing programs.

mike ~ did the scans show anything?

[mikebrad]

yeah, 1206 infections!

Of course, 1150 of them were cookies but the other 56 were adware, malware, etc. I have no idea where she got it from, probably downloaded smileys or something retarded like that.
