Impending MySpace Disaster?

[dotinthesky]

Why are there ads appearing everywhere on my LJ? And why are there links on people comments (and even in my userinfo) leading me to crappy advertisement pages?

Sort it out, Livejournal! It's shit.

sounds like you might have some spyware or a virus on your pc, get adaware http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/

Yes, it might be that, it happened to me last year too.

I thought it might be that and did a scan, but only cookies got picked up. I did fill out a survey some time ago in LJ about my opinion on whether they should includes ads in site... I think I said I didn't want them! I've done another scan, removed the little crabs, but the damn ads are still there.

On your comment, for example, the word "spyware" is a link to http://commonpeople.livejournal.com/spyware. And on my userinfo, "drink" is a link to http://commonpeople.livejournal.com/drink.
