Default RL Bugged/hacked?
It seems that every time I am on RL it is opening a new window with advertisements.

I thought that it might have been my computer, but it is also doing it on my iPhone too.

So has anyone else experienced this?

Nothing like that. Spybot S&D is a good thing!

Strange that it only happens when I am on RL, and that it is exactly the same on my iPhone too.....

I get virus protection / spybot beeps on occasion while on rennlist. I wouldn't be surprised if some advertisers are pushing boundaries a bit.

My BB seems immune! Of course I'm running the mobile theme when I'm on it, though.

Well, I have run spybot. Checked all the other systems too. Everything checks out.

Moment I come back onto RL, bang an ad comes up.

I suspect you have something in the Rennlist preferences set to yes, that the rest of us have set to no.

Could be browser options as well. Look for something like pop up control, or display of information from other sites.
