It's a single line at the bottom of their code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://a.postrelease.com/serve/load.js?async=true">
Only way is for their web developer to delete it. I'm really dissappointed and have lost all respect with the web developer or whoever made the decision to add this as they have no idea what the term "security risk" means. I'm ok with the sidebar ads as bandwidth to host a site can get quite expensive, but manipulating the functionality of the site is definitely over the line. Internetbrands should really change their name to internet-turds.

hi everyone,
PostRelease has been a parter of ours for more than 2yrs now. They have run campaigns here on i-Club in the past, without generating outrage like this.
The code on the site hasn't changed in over a year either. We've made no adjustments here, other than ones requested by your admins in quite some time.
I agree, after reading it, that this particular Nitto Campaign is misleading, and the copy is terrible. I will send the feedback to PostRelease this morning, and see what can be done. I apologize for that, and will report back with an update once I have one.
cheers,
robb

Wooooow, you guys actually have ssh 22 opened to the public. Great job guys! And 1675 ports open.
What's the point of dropping ping if you have all that opened? Do you even have a pix or at least a properly configured iptables running?

Lol its just an Ad, yeah it may be somewhat "misleading" or an "inconvenience" but just do yourself a favor and dont click the add
Don't really see what the big deal is. Its really nothing that people should be getting pissed off about. The site needs to pay for this website to stay up and running. That ad is there, so we can all be here.
