My kids are trying learn all they can about these issues but I don't want that crap on their computers. I for one am disappointed with this kind of advertisement.
The who and the what now?

There are 0 ads on this site right now except the three across the top which currently consist of: An ad for a blog I like, an ad for the Allegheny County Sportsmen's League, and and ad for our County Database. There are DEFINITELY no ads for anything remotely like what you're talking about, nor would there ever be.

I would highly suggest that you get a virus scanner real quick because it sounds like you have some mal-ware installed on your computer that is inserting ads into websites. Does this happen with other websites you visit?

Bersa: I have never experienced anything like you describe. I think you should try contacting "The Geek Squad" or similar computer service agency.

I appologize, but i don't know why it is only on my computor. The ads at the top that you described are there for about 10 seconds then these nude ads take their place. I do feel much better that this site does not support that kind of advertising. And again I'm sorry. How did this only happen to mine. And yes, this is the only site they pop up on

You should download and run some anti-virus/spyware program, if you don't have one here's a couple of decent free programs:

someone's been nawtee with thier pistol haven't they. lol. yes avg is all that and a bag of chips, it's save me multiple headaches working with fools that download tons of crud daily.

eta: zonealarm makes a great firewall while you're at it. but user beware if you don't have the patience to allow all the programs that are good and deny the one's that aren't this program is not for you.

Real nice look and feel. Color scheme is easy on the eyes and the gradients add a lot to the aesthetics of the site.

Wish list: County Database link moved out of the ad field and maybe put it on the same line as Search. JMHO, but since it keeps you on the pafoa.org site, it seems more like a search category than an ad and would stand out a little more prominently. Just a thought.
