Is the tribal fusion adware being "delivered" upon us when we visit our beloved Bleeping site (see screenshot...look at bottom of screen where the tribalfusion URL shows). The URL displays itself when I place my cursor over the Monster ad. Spyware Blaster is zapping TF on the way "in" at our house, as far as I can figure out; however, at my parents' home (they don't use Spyware blaster), it is getting in and being found by Ad-Aware. Confusedly yours, ..Kat

Unfortunately tribalfusion is used to create revenue in order to keep this site up and running. With that said, mot of these banner delivery services use tracking cookies, which is probably being detected by ad-aware. You can set it to never allow those cookies.
Hopefully in the future I will be able to remove these types of ads . -------------------- Lawrence
