RickG Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 They all seem to be working properly for me--all to flight related products.

OK, at least I know that the links are being seen by others. I didn't know you can download FSX (No mention of Demo) for FREE! UPDATE: If I scrolled down, the download said trial/ Demo version. Had me going for a short time! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCD Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hey there Mr. Zippster... I get them to, Bro; they appear to be advertising content placed by Yahoo. The site needs money to survive, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted March 17, 2015 Founder Share Posted March 17, 2015 As it says on the top of that ad block "Ads by Yahoo". Yahoo is, of course, one of the biggest entities on the Internet, not some fly-by-night sleaze sending you to questionable web sites. In order to pay the bills here we have to run ads, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to pay those bills as the hobby contracts with Microsoft leaving us. We run ads specifically for flightsim products as well as ads from Google and Yahoo. There should not be any unsafe ads seen here. Tip: If you are on a web site that you like and want to support, click on the ads! Web sites only stay free to you because others, like ad agencies, are paying the bills.

KCD Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Well stated, Nels, just the simple act of clicking on these sites helps the host site. It's a easy thing we can all do to help support the site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatRace Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 As it says on the top of that ad block "Ads by Yahoo". Yahoo is, of course, one of the biggest entities on the Internet, not some fly-by-night sleaze sending you to questionable web sites. That particular ad block is now asking me to select an age group, so the advertiser can show me a list of single women available in my area. Not exactly sleaze, but not very flightsim related either. And of course, I couldn't find anything to my liking anyway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 I have not seen any more of the Yahoo ads. I guess it was eliminated from the site! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringBean Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 My question is how are the advertisers calculating my age? By analyzing your search activity and tracking the things you look at on the Internet. Don't worry about it, it is not personal. It happens to everyone and almost all of it is done automatically. There is no analyst sitting at a monitor watching you. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

loki Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Since when does just going to a site (any site) make your computer be 'virus-riddled'? Does not compute. Chuck B Napamule Since many viruses and malicious programs have found ways to use security holes in browser plug-ins, such as Adobe Flash, to install themselves just by having the user load the infected page. This is part of what UAC is meant to catch. And this is also not limited to porn or shady websites. A number of more reputable sites have been infected over the years too.
