Is anyone getting pop up ads?

Is anyone getting pop up ads that appear to be originating from savingadvice.com? We do not have any pop ups on the site, but I just received an email from someone who said they were getting them. I need to know if this is an isolated incident or something that is happening to a number of people.

I haven't seen any.

Its quite possible that the person reporting this may have unwanted spyware/ad-ware on their machine. If so, a couple of free downloads may help them resolve the issue --

Ad-Aware 2007 Free

Spybot - Search & Destroy

I agree with PW. It's probably spyware.

Another vote for spyware.

No pop-ups for me.

None for me, either.
