    Recently, few of my visitor says that they got trojan warning from the ads from CPX. Anyone know what is the ads ID or number so I can block it from showing?

    I think it is the norton internet stuff. It had other affiliate companies that were known to harbor spyware apps.

    You need to load the ad, then go to ad.yieldmanager.com/cookie. Then take those id's and ban them in the system. If you do not keep up with the monitoring, it will come back. If Google.com finds it, then they slap a warning on your site telling people your site may harm your computer with malware from badware.org. This is becoming a problem now that Google.com is doing this. Happened to a few of my friends. All using networks with Right Media or Clicksor/Paypopup. Until they can fix this issue, I know quite a few of webmasters who will not touch these networks with a ten foot pole.

    Oh wow..WTF..The organic traffic will go down if people see that. I guess its time to take serious action with those ads. I saw it few times but they never harm anything but they did try to download something to my PC through applet but firefox blocked it.
