Default Getting this instead of some user's avatars

Been reading a couple of threads and i noticed some avatars were replaced with this:

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3737/82887257tu7.jpg

The pic also links to some site(not clicked) instead of the avatar page on the user's profile. I've done a spyware scan after this and it said my pc is ok. Anybody know what it could be?

Don't start pointing fingers at us.

The only advertisements on the forums are through Google, and display for guests/unregistered users.

Likely, your computer is infected.

My computer is clean for sure. It might be my ISP, considering th fact that in a couple of days it's gonna be dissolved in a bigger company.
Thanks for the reply, Viper.

Let me clarify: to the best of my knowledge, it's not us. I haven't seen it myself, done anything to do that, or heard anything from anyone else about this problem. So chances are, it's not us.

Can't say I've ever seen anything like that...

Which program are you using to check for spyware? Is it updated?

Hey if Viper and Quiky need to sell out in order to continue their playboy lifestyle of flying on gold plated personnel jets while sniffing coke off the asses of their throng of personnel high class hookers than so be it.

Been getting this also on other sites. I really think it's my ISP, as I'm one of the last of their clients not to go to another firm and that they've got only one server and employee left. That's because i can't decide what internet offer is the best at the moment. Maybe it's their server.

^Si tu ce faci, incurajezi ISPurile sa-si trateze clientii in felul asta?
Cauta si tu pe internet, ca doar trebuie sa fie destui provideri prin Bucuresti.

So what are you doing? Are you encouraging ISPs to treat their clients this way?
Look on the internet, there should be plenty of ISPs in Bucharest

You mean this rule?
No Advertising: This is a forum, not a place to advertise. However, I do make some exceptions, so PM me and I may let you.

That means for threads on blogs, your photo site, etc. Also, Google Ads are in-place on the forums, BUT they only show up small ads for Guests and Unregistered users.
