AD Campaign is being a trojan horse.

I am having trouble with an ad campaign that is uploading my Web Page history through my browser. IT is saying stuff like getting http://media.fastclick.net/whatever... over and over again. Ethier some advertiser is trying to get my personal info or they are just advertising through the advertisment causing a stack dump error on my browser. Do you know what's going on?

Thanks Great America!

I doubt very much your history is being uploaded. Fastclick is the secondary ad network I use. They're not stealing your history.

fastclick is doing something wacky to my computer as well. My hourglass keeps flashing and at the bottom of my browser it says "Opening page fccb.htm&d=f at media.fastclick.net...". It is drastickly slowing my page load time.

Is there any way to make it stop (other than giving you 20 bucks)?

(EDIT) I have figured out that it is an add on the side of the site that has a basketball animation. It keeps uploading itself in order to be pretty. I left and came back and another, less intrusive ad is in it's place.

here's a little trick for you IE users:
Goto the properties for IE, and then click on the Security Tab. Once youve done that click on Restricted Sites and then click the Sites... button.

Now type http://*.coasterbuzz.com
and click the Add button. Once you've done that click OK. If you already had IE open close it then reopen it. Now when you visit Coasterbuzz no ad's will popup.

Only problem with this method is that if you want to post you'll have to enter your User/Pass everytime.

Hope this helps some of you.

First of all, remember that when you block ads I don't get paid. Second of all, the sites you block should be the ad servers, not this one.

Do you get paid per click or per banner view?

I will be clicking on some ads that I am interrested in and I have been doing it too.

OMG that ad is annoying. Its always crashing explorer, once it gets done loading! This is the only site that explorer crashes on me.

In more cases than not I get paid for views.
