So im noticing that when im in a thread, sometimes their will be a word or something underlined in a post. When you hover over that, it comes up with some weird advert for Ipad or something.
took a screenshot for example.

I think it's an IE thing. I've seen it before, but never on my Mac.

That's to do with your browser, not the site. It happens sometimes on Firefox and then goes away when the broswer updates itself.

Using Firefox, Am not finding any problem. I have the ad blocker thingi (kudos to afro) so maybe that's stopping it.

I'm willing to bet you've somehow installed a rogue app/extension/add-on for Chrome. It may have sneaked in with some "freeware" program you installed which included a "toolbar" for chrome etc.

I recomend you tell your cousin to stop visiting porn sites.
That or install actuall anitvirus software and keep your subscription current.
