If your browser -- whatever it is -- is making calls to an ad server somewhere, chances are the problem is not in the browser itself but in some piece of adware or spyware that has been inadver- tently installed on your system. You might want to check out a good anti-Spyware system. But beware! 80% of them are in fact spyware or adware in disguise. I still use Ad-Aware because it was one of the first such free utilities, and because I trust their motives and their software. It may not be the latest and greatest and spiffiest, but it has kept my computer protected from such scourges for several years now, so I have come to depend on it.
