Hehe, they got you. ;P Naw, probably your Browser got confused and exchanged two picture in the cache. Try to reload the page (Ctrl-F5) and it should go away.

Do a google under "ad aware" or adaware - forget which. There's a neat piece of freeware which detects and removes spyware etc on your computer. When I got divx, ad aware removed about ten 'gaters' from divx. - TJ

BTW, be careful what you let ad aware remove. It wanted to remove my Borland C compiler executable. I am assuming you have a pc. If you have a MAC I don't remember if they support it or what the precautions are. - TJ

yeah, i have that also (plus pest patrol) and it said everything is clean. i guess it was really the browser having a black out. i'm getting really paranoid with all this crap! ;o)

my guess would be that you picked up some adware from that very source where the 'ad' is coming from....Divx5, when you downloaded it you prob opted out of paying for the full version and grabbed the free one which Includeds adware :)
