I swear ads just got a whole load cleverer.

This time last year every website i visited was full of adverts i couldn't care less about. But literally within the last month a total change has occured, I go on ebuyer to look at PSU's and the next thing i know i'm on news 4 gamers and im swamped with Ebuyer adverts on the best PSU deals. I then come on here and preach for Apple and then i'm swamped with Iphone 4 contract deal offers from Vodafone adverts.

This stuff is clever and i don't like it, google is watching me too much

Oh comeon this is beyond a joke. Maybe its just coincidence, but i make a bet with hefemeister on the UK v USA world cup and now i see an advert for World Cup Betting for less than £25..
Does google somehow monitor everything you type ?

It's getting irritating...Google annoy me sometimes...

Sounds like you might have a bug on your rig to me. Give Osiris's guide a spin just for fun and make sure.

Also, there is an Advertising Cookie Opt-out extension for Firefox that preserves your advertising preferences for Google. Very handy little bugger.

You know what they say, you can find anything if you're looking for it
Once your actively start looking for something or for connections you'll find them.

This was my thought, too.

I'll check it out, but ESET Smart Security 4 has found nothing and that thing does a full scan at 3am every morning. And i only visit the same websites everyday (TF, engadget, gizmodo, n4g, bbc, google, ign, gamespot, apple, youtube), and i rarely deviate from them. Seems unlikely that i would have a virus

Lol, this thing is very obvious though.

edit:

Ohhh ! That reminds me. How stupid of me, i cant use firefox anymore. All my google results are bugged, click a link and it goes to some random junk website. I can't get rid of this thing, tried 2 or 3 antivirus's. Googled it (On Safari) and found people with the same problem and deleted the files they all recommended to delete, still no hope. But then i totally forgot about it when i switched to Chrome/Safari/Opera (I use 3 browsers, i'm weird like that)
