Incredibly irritating "Error beep" ad

I have heard from a couple of other posters that they are also getting an incredibly infuriating ad on RealGM that makes the windows error message sound every 6 seconds or so. It has flashing type that says "YOU ARE THE 999,999TH VISITOR: CONGRATULATIONS YOU WON!!!!!"

I don't know what can be done about it, but it's really, really annoying.

P.S. You don't have to inform me about Firefox. I know about Firefox.

Yes it is annoying I thought some application was running in the background.

RealGM do something about some of these annoying ads.

If you have firefox just type in addons in your browser and it should take you to a page where you can download ad block plus and you will never see another ad again. :thumbsup:

IIIIITTTT'S BAAAAAACK!!! The ad is back, except this time it does a cricket chirp instead of the error message.

Do any people with the actual power to do anything about it read this? I haven't seen any moderator post anything about fixing this.

RealGM can block it - ads with sound make more $ though...
