I'm getting a rather large pop-up that consistently comes back after I press close. It says "Play Now" and "Download" with a "Close" box off to the right at the bottom of the screen. This is extremely annoying. It's as bad as ps3hax's website. Please fix this!

I use Aurora (Latest FF alpha build) with adblocker enabled and have never seen those ads mentioned. I went ahead and checked whatever version of IE is on here though, and there were ads with false download and play links. Upon signing in, the ads disappeared. Upon signing out, they reappeared.

Why should we have to bloat up our browser with plugins just because GBATEMP decided to add ads when ur not signed in?

This is the kind of plugin that you are going to end up installing anyways.

I was getting them in Firefox 7.0.1. Signed in as people earlier in the thread suggested and they've gone. They really do look like the kind of ads you'd get from adware, however its very unlikely that so many users have the same infection and even more unlikely that adware would suddenly stop because you signed in.

function zzcatfishclose(){document.getElementById('zzadfooter').style.display="none";document.getElementById('zzadclose').style.display="none";document.getElementById('zzadcontent').style.display="none";document.getElementById('zzright').style.display="none";}var zzcfWidth= 728 ;;var zzcfHeight= 90;document.write('#zzadfooter{position:fixed;left:0px; bottom:0px; height:'+zzcfHeight+';width:100%; z-index:99999;}* html #zzadfooter{z-index:99999; position:absolute; top:expression((0-(zzadfooter.offsetHeight)+(document.documentElement.clientHeight ? document.documentElement.clientHeight : document.body.clientHeight)+(ignoreMe = document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop))+"px");}');document.write('

I have this floating ad too on IE 9. (all popup blockers on highest levels.) It is only when on THIS SITE. It does not show on any other web page, which tells me it's not tied to my comp but to this site... mine only shows a download button large in green box, with the red tab as shown in previous screen shots but no real ad just a count-down timer to the left of the download button.. that' says " you've got XX seconds to click."

I have flashblock so I don't really see them, but I see the close button lol.

It doesn't go away after signing in (using Chrome latest)

As you can see: I'm on Mac, Chrome, signed and ads appear between posts too, not just the hovering one at the botom.

Gbatemp must've been compromised or intentionally added them.

IMO, it's quite annoying...
