Once again, Bullguard has declared my public folder as private. Thus, every time anyone, myself included, visits any page that has even one (1) link to one of my images hosted by Bullguard, that person will see a login prompt. In fact, as many login prompts as there are links to images.
If you see any suspicious login prompt, do not panic. Just click Cancel.
Unfortunately, these prompts are anywhere my images once were, including threads started by others. My appologies, but I hope that this will be resolved soon. irate:
Beware: Jeffbert's threads have login prompts

If you want to see for yourself, Click here. Just remember, when you see the prompt, click Cancel.

You can block a lot of ads by changing your "hosts" file. It's in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (if you're using Windows XP, I'm not sure for other operating systems).
Open it with a text editor like notepad, and you can redirect any web site to any IP address. The IP address for yourself is always 127.0.0.1, so if you point all ads sites to that address it won't be able to find them and you won't see them on web pages. Like this:
127.0.0.1 ad.dk.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.be
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.com
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.de
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
You can find comprehensive hosts files by searching Google. Mine's pretty old but it still blocks most ads.
