Normally caused by malicious Spyware/Adware, these can be very annoying,
Most spywares simply count how many times youve clicked on a banner,
though some, can cause some real havoc if your not careful.

Now, i know what you are thinking,
(But, Ive never looked at adult content online! Why is it advertising this stuff?)

You dont really need to have looked at that kind of thing, for the spywares to advertise thing,
The one in question is desighned to hijack the advertisments on the given site,
and place its own in,
As i said on the MFGG main site, a spyware scan should find, and remove this problem,

Scan for Spyware/Adware.
Their are several known which hijack the advertisements on a website and place in their own.

Nothing here should be advertising adult content as far as i know (I sure as hell dont see any adult ads).

Spybot search and destroy should cover it.

this is a real problem, that hurts MFGG. and the people who make those spywares just make me sick.

In light of the reports RII has reconfigured Google Adsense to Deny any adult content advertisements,

They should not show now, even if you spend all day surfing porn,

"Retriever II on MFGG"

I have gone and tweaked the adsense settings as a precaution. It appears they have added new control options that simply didn't exist when I started using them. Adult content should never be considered a valid ad, so if you see one, report it to me.

Also remember that adsense works in funny ways. It knows where you've been and it will serve you ads based on that. I personally only seem to get ads for my own employer, and some toolkit vendors. If you spend all your time on porn sites, I can't really say what will happen. Well regardless, that kind of content should not be reflected here.
