"focusinads.targetads.net has been blocked"

[thebigdintx]

ever since i downloaded and have been using webroot spysweeper antispyware application(which i now get free with msn), whenever i first go to computerforums after signing on the computer a small notification window appears from the taskbar stating that "focusinads.targetads.net" has been blocked (or something similar to that, the warning box goes away), and i dont see the ads anymore in the upper right corner of the website. does webroot spysweeper see those ads as spyware or something i guess? (i don't have the "common ad site shield" feature active in spysweeper either).

"focusinads.targetads.net"

Yes, id say so..
Well i think so anyways, i reakon its *some type* of spyware, ete, something thats junky.
It could be apart of cookies(well maybe not, dunno) and spyware and the ads to me its all apart of it, its junky, and we all dont need it on our comp's.

With CF ive noticed a huge increas(sp) in pop ups/ad's spyware, but i dont have a blocker on IE(when im use'n it) so trust me i notice it *alot*

Ive taken more note now, and looking into it(on my comp) and yeah with ad-aware and etc.

Tracking Cookie's and etc anyways im still looking into it, if i come up with anymore info or something like that ill inform..
