My ads are always things I've been browsing on amazon, so if you've been looking up certain phallic objects a lot that might explain it.

LOL! Yeah, but it's not like I've not perused that topic before today, and today is the only day I've ever seen it here. And it's not a phallic object, it is of the female persuasion.

Yup, same. Not only browsing on Amazon, but various other sites too. I guess if those pay for Google ads, then Google ads use the cookies and advertise the same websites (or same type of websites) to me to remember using them. So yup, OP involuntary admitted what he's been doing online lately.

Somebody's computer is infected. Quick delete system 32.
Don't do that

LOL! I know it's not infected. I've got a pretty good AV and I don't click on suspicious links/sites.;)

Oh, I did. Getting rid of system 32 would nuke my computer.;) I was just playing along.:)

If you really want to get rid of a bad virus, delete C:\

Generally when stuff like that happens it's because an ad slipped through. You'll see them every now and then even on good and proper sites. Most ad networks don't manually check every ad, so sometimes bad ones get through.

Okay. So other people may end up seeing it as well. It probably won't be around too long once the Mods (or whatever the equivalent is here) see it.

Generally if you have ads on your site, there's a manner to report bad ones and they get nuked fast. So no, I wouldn't expect it to be there long.

usually the sites don't chose the adcontent themself, they chose a provider of ads, therefore you probably could see unappropiate content on every site.
Thats the reason why I use adblock. Not to stick it to the site, but because you can't be sure the ad content is always clean in both the appropiate meaning and the in sense without malicious content/code.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, that is exactly why I use Adblock. There have been too many cases of ads carrying malware, I'm not willing to take the risk, no matter how much the site might beg me to.

Dude, it's what you where up to recently (especially what you bought) xD,

The only things I've bought were cards from the Steam Market. LOL!

I wouldn't really consider that off-topic considering the content of the ad I was talking about.

And it's gone. Now it's just the regular ads I've been seeing before.

So can you bring out a tutorial so the rest of us can get these same ads?
Thanks in advance for sharing your method OP. +rep

LOL! I honestly don't know HOW I got it. First time occurance!

The main annoyance I have is ads that blink. I'm not epileptic, but if I were I wouldn't use the site. Not cool.

I hate ads or ad videos (heck, even news videos) that autoplay and you cannot interact with them. It's particularly jarring when I am wearing my headphones and it starts out of the blue. Fricking peeves me off!

There are a few options in IE.
The first, is a system wide block on the domains that provide the advertisements -- http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
The second, which is exclusive to IE, is Tracking Protection Lists (TPL) -- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/iegallery -- about half way down. EasyList is the standard for everyone.
Third there is Adblock Plus for IE, but I'm not a fan of Adblock Plus in general, and some of what they do, so I'd go with one or both of the first two.

I disabled adblock after reading this title, hoping i'll get some too but unfortunately i didn't get one... how disappointing.

You should leave adblock disabled for the site, it helps support its maintenance :]
Comment has been collapsed.
At one point I really disabled it to support maintenance, i don't remember the reason why but i enabled it again. I'll try disabling it again and see the reason why i made a u-turn in my decision then.

My ads are usually just games. Are you getting the same thing on your steam browser account? I recently had an encounter with DNS Unlocker and it was very frustrating because of the ads but if its not on your steam account browser then idk what to do

Poor guy is getting Brony ads, and you complain about just porn....unbelievable....think about this guy. Once I got "dress up Justin Bieber ad" THAT was scary, he was partially nude, only wearing pants.

Since ad cookies cut the ads to what we are looking for then you or someone on your PC must have browsed pr0n but since the ad isn't maybe classified as pr0n then somehow it got through Steamgifts filters?
Last time I was searching for a good deal on Diablo III + LOD bundle and how much are Samsung Galaxy S7 and then in Steamgifts I had ads similar to Ebay but native to my country offering IN SPLIT SCREEN IN ONE ADD... what? Diablo III and Samsung Galaxy S7.
Wow! What a co-in-ki-din-ky!

Shame on you for blocking off cg's only source of meager income to pay for the website. >:(
Kidding. :P

You could check your browser for PUPs? I know this could be a reason for seeing strange and out-of-place advertisements.

Just wondering why there is suddenly a porn picture as the ad on the main page. Don't really think this is the kind of site that would have that as an ad, so I'm wondering if there's been a hack done either here or at the site the ads normally originate from.
