Where are you seeing these new ads? I still see the NAM-vendor ads at the top-center of the screen, but the only other ads I can find are the "Google Ads" at the very bottom-left of the page, below "Latest Main Topics" and "Buddy List".
Frankly, I didn't even know those ads were there until I scrolled down looking for them, because they're below all the "real" content on the page and I never scroll down that far.

Top of the page where the normal vendor ads are?
I just refreshed 30 times and each was a "normal" NAM vendor.
Might want to check and make sure the GF's PC hasn't been taken over by some sort of adware.

There was a Target ad accidentally in circulation because it was for a set of bedsheets called Mini Circus.

Even when I'm not logged in, I can't get any ads to come up in the "vendor" window near the top of the screen besides the MINI-related ads from NAM vendors.
In fact, except for the "Google Ads" window at the bottom-left, I can't find any other advertising on the site at all.

I should have been more clear - even the "Google Ads" I'm seeing are MINI-related, even if they're not ads for NAM vendors.
I've *never* seen anything like what littlehandegan is describing (TV dishes, Playboy, tax services, etcetera).

Just got home, its definately is her computer, over 453 viruses on it, scanned it. But I was very mad when I saw ads for that stuff, if nam came to that I would be a little upset.

I use Firefox as well, but I still see the rotating NAM vendor ads near the top-center of the screen, as well as the "Google Ads" box in the lower-left. Do you not even see those?
Nope. All I see is the red Vendor Directory and the Google header, but no ads at all. I use Adblock Plus 0.7.5.5 and Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.1.3.
