Hi I followed a banner ad here for readingfanatic.com, which when clicking on "click here" without any explanation tried to install software from [noparse]http://ak. imgfarm.com/[/noparse]. Don't know what to think of that... :uhh:

These are ads served by google, thank you for reporting it here, you shoul also report such situations directly to Google - if memory serves me well, to do so you can click on the "AdChoices" link in the ad corner.
