Hello Mike,
As others have said, it's a pop-up advertisement or a browser

Subject: [jaws-uk] Spam on the web.
Hi folks,
Can someone help please. Over the last few days what appears to
be an advertisment keeps interfering by coming onto my screen
when I try to go onto any web page that I choose to surf. Jaws
says New browser window, followed by Bullseye network offer. But
when my wife looks at the screen it appears to be blank,
although she thinks the information on the page has been blocked
by my Norton personal firewall. But what I want to know is if it
blocks all the info on the page why has it allowed the page to
come in at all?
It's interfering with every website that I enter onto, and I am
forever doing alt+F4 each time this happens, it is very annoying
and frustrating.
My wife says the header line says Oas-central.realmedia.com but
jaws just says bullseye network offer and nothing else.
I use Jaws 4.51 with X P Home. I have Norton Internet Security
2004 installed on my system, which includes a personal firewall
and anti virus programs.
My wife says that on the Internet Security options page all
protective options are checked including "detect intrusion"or
something like that.
This has only started occuring two or three days ago.
The only thing I can think of which I have done different about
this time, is that I have downloaded an E Book from Project
Guttenberg in M P 3 format into My Documents. Could that have
something to do with it?
I just don't know, as I am not proficient enough to understand
these technicalities.
If someone can help I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks for any help,
Michael Brown.
