Pop Up Ads

Not really a problem, but a curiousity.

Lately, when viewing FlyerTalk, I've been getting an abnormal number of pop-up ads, all the same.

Nearly every time I click on or leave an FT topic, a window pops up with an ad for United Airlines 'Fly 1 Free for Every 3' promotion. Always the same ad. Currently, I have about 30 duplicate ad windows open. Google's pop-up blocker doesn't do a thing to block these.

I suspect that it probably has nothing to do with FlyerTalk but the fact that it is a travel related ad makes me wonder.

Also, this only happens when using Internet Explorer. When I tried Netscape and Firefox (Hey, I've got some free time, today), I don't see any ads.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
