I remember when I was about 11, they moved one of these monsters (as they were then) to the steel works not far from where I lived:

We used to go every weekend and see how far it had moved since we last saw it. Snails would fly past...

That site checks your computer to see what browser it is using. I do not know what else that site checked for.

There are 2 links in this thread. What one are you talking about?

Also, how do you know? Tell us more about it.

I used the site the thread starter posted. Perhaps if you have Firefox you would not get the popup addon. They had to check to know what you have?

I did get a ad that stated what browser I was using. Somebody was checking. I have not recieved that ad before.

What are you running for virus and adware checking? You might want to run them considering what Shorcircuit said.

Edit~! After that second thing he said... I'd run it twice!

Ad Aware SE. Spybot, SpywareBlaster, and Avast home edition with Zone Alarm firewall. P.S. Those computer virius makers and adware spy people are very troublesome and intrusive. Downloading that site resulted in a check and a popup ad for me.
