Default Ads by Google?

I notice at the bottom of most threads, you have "Ads by Google"

Are these actual CF advertisers, or have I been infected by spyware?

Those ads in one form or another have been around for a while. They appear in the left hand column of the forum under "Sponsored Ads".

They recently were put at the bottom of the threads. I believe that by putting these ads on a page, revenue can be generated by the forum.

Those ads work by collecting key info on a page you are visiting and then trying to show relevant sites that pertain to that key info.

You have not been affected by spyware.

They are not actual CF advertisers.
