That's just you, man. You've got some adware on your comp...

yeah, i get some for like gay.com or something
but at the bottom it says 'not in connection with the site you are vistiting' so it must just be my comp...how do you get rid of those anyway?
and does anyone have hotbar, at the top of the page? it takes key words from the page you're on and puts links to them. problem is, on basically any cm page, it says 'hardcore!!' somewhere on it, and you can guess what the ads are for...
my sister downloaded it and i cant get rid of it. i even went into where the program was kept on the comp and tried to delete it, but nothing happened.

Download that. It will get rid of the pop-ups.
As for that program your sister downloaded, try going into "Control Pannel -> Add/Remove Programs" Then find the program in there and delete it. You may have to restart first.

Is that similar to spybot?

I've never used Spybot, so I'm not sure. I'd download it and see if it finds anything different on your comp. Couldn't hurt.
As for Kazaa ads... Get Kazaa Lite. I doubt it will get rid of those pop-ups. Just like it won't get rid of the pop-up window on
www.ourladypeace.com. It's not a pop-up stopper. What it will do is delete programs that make those "this ad is not associated with the site you are visiting" ads.

kazaa lite messed up my other computer, it makes it go so slow now. i'd rather deal with a couple pop-ups...
