Howdy all,

I just wanted to let comicvine aware that there is an ad that is opening up other windows/tabs when comicvine is loaded. I've had Adblock+ disabled for a while to try to help support comicvine but I've been forced to enable it as everytime I try to open comicvine.com a new tab opens in firefox and WOT freaks out warning me. Ads that redirect you are highly suspect and can usually also inject viruses. Please fix this.

I was being redirected to a site called adservingsolutionsinc.com....

This does not happen to me. Sounds like adware.
