Check every entry through a virus and spyware database--CA website has a great one, just put the entry into search box. Then delete any spyware and adware. I love freebies but purchased IC after the trial, and am not making money for saying this and have no relatives working for them. CA also works OK but it heats up my cpu for some reason.

Came across this article about Google ads and prop 8. Might clear up some of the confusion.

My IP is southern California, so that's probably why I was seeing them. Thanks for your time.

A simple table with four legs is enough as a desk. Nice concept, but I believe the chair is much more important for productivity than the desk. A simple table with four legs is enough as a desk.

I am in California. It may be why I was (underline WAS, it seems gone now) seeing the Yes 8 ads. I ran 2 different virus scans and a spyware sweep, but nothing showed up. Thanks for looking into it Jack. I'm sorry if this ad concern hijacked the blog. But it really does say something about some of the interests behind the Yes side if they resort to underhanded spamming/virusing behavior like this.

To interest me, this system would have to have *secret* compartments, with gapless transitions. This is a great idea, but one of my criteria for an excellent work surface is that it be smooth.

Erin, have your developers checked from a computer located in California and using an ISP from California. It's very easy for a developer to get boxed in and say because if I can't see it, it's not happening. It would honestly not surprise me that Google Ad's in California are showing Prop 8 Ads. And I think that the possibility that someone would write a virus to affect a browser and to only replace Google Ad's as pretty absurd. I would lose a lot of confidence in a developer that got in front of a team that even suggested it. If I were to write a virus that support Prop 8, I would have it email everyone in target address book asking them to support it. Come on, virus replacing Google Ads. Get better developers.

If you honestly see the ad on our site, can you take a screenshot and e-mail it to us? I promise to throw a fit and yell at our programming team and call them awful names. @Jack — My programmers assure me that they blocked all pro 8 URLs through Google AdSense.

Does your tech guy know what sort of virus it is? I think my office's IT department would be interested in that info.

The desk looks interesting. I'd recommend that the designer make the removable parts replacements available separately. Things do break, and I'd like to not buy a whole new desk.

We're not going to apologize for a virus on a reader's computer. Our programmers already inspected the situation and concluded that indeed it is a virus on the person's computer. If we wrote an apology for every virus on every reader's computer, then this blog would not have anything to do with clutter. Obviously, we're sorry that @Sue was offended by the ad. We clearly don't support its message. But, again, it's not ours. @Alice — The ads aren’t ours. We’re not going to apologize for a virus on a reader’s computer.
