    Grrr... why though... only on that site? And why clickbooth.... and watching the status bar, as soon as googlesyndication loads I'm redirected.

    Do you maybe have something that blocks this type of activity from ads?

    Anyone else try??

    Yeah that sounds like a classic case of spyware to me, I work at my school's helpdesk and I see issues with that from the smithren series of viruses all the time.

    Ahh nutts...

    I thought I should record the screen with camtasia to see all the status messages. I see about:blank for like half second then it starts loading the clickbooth urls... so... I started looking for that particular site in and various words and found that theres some kind of crapware that redirects to clickbooth.

    So I am assuming NOW that it's not adsense...

    Still weird why only for that site though...

    If it happens to anyone else, please let me know
