These ads at the bottom of the page (one is for Audi I think, not sure about the other one), commandeer not only the window it is in, but ALL OTHER Internet Explorer windows! They even locked up other applications until I closed it.
As I am reading another window or running another program, it jumps back to the page with this ad. I believe it is the embedded video that does it.
I had to close all windows and start over. This is unacceptable.

| Thanks, this has never happened before. Is it google? I don't recognize the little triangular icon. Aggressive little bugger! And it comes up on every Samba page I open. |

Yes, they are Google ads that help support the site.
The 2nd one looks like some anti-smoking ad when I google search the image.
I am not getting that one but Google ads are often tailored to your browsing habits.
You may be able to clear your cookies and have it no longer appear.
I think I am getting the first ad but it's just a black box so I can't tell which ad it is and it is not affecting Chrome or Firefox.
It's probably a temporary issue with that exact ad though.
They often fix or remove it fairly quickly

I notice the ad box keeps flashing, as if it is trying to stay the focus among open windows. That's what makes it so nasty... it stops other apps, too. I'll see if I can clear Samba cookies (haven't had to do that in a long time, so I'm rusty), maybe that will free it up.
