    Wow, talk about unethical or clueless. If they did it on purpose that's pretty bad, but if they gave you ad software that contained a virus...... Maybe they should check that before they send out software!!!

      It came from a vendor on a weekend and they didn't go through the process of getting the ad approved or something to that effect.

            Steve, Can you specify the hours the ad was running and the date so we who visit often can determine if we got infected?

                        How did you get the virus? I mean it's an ad right? unless you clicked on it then I don't see how you could get a virus.

                              It messed me up a little this weekend too. I just visited the main page and it installed some kind of search tool deal on my computer. I just removed it and ran Adaware to get rid of the stuff it placed on my computer. Glad to hear you guys got rid of that company.
