whenever i'm on this website nowadays i see ads.jolinko.com loading in the bottom left of my screen. sometimes the page i'm trying to view will freeze on this and i can't even get through. is anyone else having this problem with the wolf web or is it just me?

It's ads used by TWW. Block it with adblock or your HOSTS file.

Adblock + Hosts file = Pure Win

You use that combination of protection and you will pretty much never have spyware problems.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file <-- Has info on the hosts bidness, and some links on the bottom to some massive hosts files. I use one of those big ones, and it certainly is nice to have most every ad on the face of the planet (and every spyware/malware/irritating POS) blocked.

i haven't bothered with ad blocker yet, so i just added it to the block list under exceptions for the load images automatically option in firefox. seems to be working.
