Re: Is there a problem with Accywebb
Every mention of ipad in this thread has become a link to the Currys website. Those get added by SkimWords, on the accyweb server side, and are relatively innocuous adverts (although you need to hover the mouse cursor over the link to see it's been added by the adware rather than a genuine link supplied by the person making the post).
If you're getting something more obtrusive than that, it's most likely an infection on your PC. I have the ad-blocker plugin on my main browser (Firefox) so I don't see banners, but I've just tried looking at this thread via Internet Explorer and there's just one banner ad at the top and another after your first post. This is no different to any other ad-supported forum that I use, so if AW is behaving strangely, it's a localised problem on your PC.
I'm going to hazard a guess and suggest that you have a search-replacement (proxy) infection and it's going nuts on AW because of all the links that get inserted by SkimWords.
