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.

That's cool. I never noticed them before and I just wanted to be sure.
