I'm also using FireFox.

It seems that IE is the problem, too.

I've not had any such warning. I am running Safari with Vipre as my anti-virus engine. At least on this PC I am using.

Is everyone who has had an issue running Internet Explorer as their browser? If it isn't happening with other browsers, then it may be a IE problem.

You know, one thing I have noticed lately about the google ads is that they appear to be oriented towards searches you have made lately on Google's site. So apparently they are scraping IP info from viewers and comparing that to a database they maintain. Kind of disconcerting to see the same Google ads apparently following you around, no matter which site you go to. They used to be keyed off or word content on the page they display on, but that doesn't seem to be the case much any longer.

So that may explain why some people are having problems and others aren't. The ads they are viewing via the Google links are different.

I use a Firefox addon called TrackMeNot to foil such search profiling. I'd like to see everyone using the web to use such a means to render their data collection useless.
They can't tell what I'm searching for because track me not makes random searches in the background (the frequency of which is user defined).

Wouldn't it be able to tell that the ones you click links for are the ones you've made a real search for? It keeps track of that, too, I believe, to deal out money for it's users.

It is complicated! I downloaded Firefox and then tried to download trackless..and all it gave me was the option to save...I'll work on it later. lol
