This ad pops up generally the first visit I make to the Swiftie discussion forum site (regardless of the computer three different computers experience it)

https://www.democrats.org/support/supportdnc.html?dsc=KPIPT04&keyword=swiftvets.com

I know it is not spyware, nor is it a virus (triple checked at this point). (I am a bit of a computer geek LOL If anything I am overprotected!) That's the work of some hacker who has created it to pop up when ever they key word swiftvets.com comes up. I am not enough of a computer geek to decode that... but thought maybe somebody on this board could.

Although I am finding great amusement in filling out the form with Kerry's information and flip flopping on the amount of money and If I support them or not... I imagine that it is a bit disconcerting to others.

FYI

Follow ALL the steps in order.
