Sometime yesterday I started getting this red, flash-made popup in the upper right corner of any page I go to that has Adsense ads. I have no idea where I picked it up. The only sites I visited yesterday and the day before had to do with adsense or webmaster issues.

Has anyone else seen it? If so, how do I get rid of it. This is worrying me. If a virus like this gets too widespread, people are going to look for Adsense killers in droves.

hi kevin, which browser are you using? if its a virus on your computer is is possible it will only affect one browser and not another.

best option is to get the following 3 programs and use them all:

1) spybot search and destroy - http://www.download....4-10122137.html

2) ad-aware - http://www.lavasoftu...ftware/adaware/

3) Computer Associates free 12 month trial of their anti virus program -
http://www.microsoft...ds/default.mspx

- if that doesn't fix it i would consider playing around with "hijack this!"
