Hi, I realise that in order to pay for bandwidth fo this site you have to run ads, but I got the below popup:

This is for a 'spyware removal' tool that is actually a piece of spyware itself. Is there any way that you can be more selective about the Ads that you place on this site?--Thanks.

Oh, that was just because I was experimenting with the ad type filters and I unchecked "warning ads" which those fall under. You shouldn't be seeing them anymore.
