Please someone let me know specifics any time this happens. It should not be happening and its not happening to me. The only way I know and can fix it is if you guys tell me.

Hey Freak, I've been online for a few hours now and the add "Blue apple research.com" has popped up a few times. No big deal to me, but just wanted to let you know...

A circuit City ad just popped up on the top half of my screen and then this "thing" took the whole thing over:

it's whenever my cursor happens to run over the ad at the top of the page it automatically covers most of my screen. you have to click close for it to disappear. not really a big deal, just annoying at times.

It sucks that I'm not getting those myself so I can grab some more details. Regardless that circuit city ad and others reported in this thread so be removed by sometime Monday.
