Frightening Alan isn't it? Most sites remove them when you pay but not this one. I now use the Firefox browser 99% of the time which makes it easy to block them. Bob

Has anyone else become highly aware that one or more of the advertisers on Genes is bombarding us with Avenue A, Inc which is a spyware program? I use Spybot to inform me every time a potential threat tries to download on my pc. Over the last few days it has got ridiculous and happens every single page. If you let these programs in they will slow down your machine and can potentially inform their originators about your web use. Regards Alan
