I've noticed on a few machines now that there are some evil ads that popup when I close the browser from the deadmen site. Some machines it works, others the site gets blocked via ie6 privacy rule.

This is the blocked cookie....

nitrous.exitfuel.com/js/smolarek_u.js

Seems only to do this on the deadmen site, no others. Is this server spy? I can't find anything in the code but there are a couple of scripts that server spy loads.

Ok, I've looked at the site, it appears to be a pay per visit jobbie so I've moved this topic here to get the admins thoughts on this.

The site is www.exitfuel.com and to be honest, these things piss me off. A complete waste of bandwidth, and the company will probably fold in a few months anyway!

Thoughts? Or am I just insane  :lol:

chances are the 'infected' machines have some spyware on them.  Its triggered when it thinks your browsing a site that it has adverts for.

Try Ad-Aware.

ServerSpy - does exactly what it says on the tin.  Related, no doubt, to that notorious adware POS GameSpy.  Better ask the web designer about fixing it...  :evil:

None of the machines on my network have spyware. And two of the machines I tested the site against are new installs.

All I see is: " Privoxy blocked http://adserv.us/img.cgi?gid=16&t=_top&id=...397&type=iframe.
See why or go there anyway"

Privoxy is cool.  :smokin:   It's even available to Windoze users, even though they don't deserve it...
