Actually I should post this one at the "Help and..) page. But my problem is not really about this site. And I know a lot of wise guys check this items regular as well. Following happened;
Yesterday I was playing chess at another site, were they have advertising on your screen. It is on the right site of the chessboard. Mostly it are things like puzzles or adding music to your phone. When I made a move and switched to the next game, some very funny figures showed up on the right site. Most of the times, I don,t even notice as I am concentrated at my games. But this time, as some were really nice, I start reading the text. It was very simple. Just click on the one you like, and it follows your cursor.
I clicked on a naked ballerina which is dancing a kind of "hoola hoop". And Yes, it worked, she followed my cursor. When I moved my mouse up and down, she was dancing the "hoola hoop" and jumping like Bob Beamon at the same time. As soon I left that window, she went back to her original position.
Lets try another one. This time I choose a bird. A flying bird. His wings go up and down like real. And he nodds a little bit with his head, like he is thinking; yes,another mile,yer,another mile,yes another mile and so on. While the screen of my monitor is only 28 cm.
On the bottom of the advertising, there was a button "APPLY". I clicked on it. And indeed, my bird was following my cursor, and assisted me with my next move of the chess game. But when I confirmed my move, the advertising disappeared, NOT the bird!
There is my problem, got a bird behind my curser, and even never noticed the name of the company to which it belongs. And I don,t know how to delete the animal. I am still very lucky that it is not the pretty and naked ballerina. You must know, my wife is very jealous. She would even be jealous of a ballerina inside the monitor of my p.c.
Well, again about the bird. His feathers are light-grey. He looks like a goose, duck or seagull, something like that. But he don,t stop flying. He never gets tired. Only when the hand or sand-glass appears, he takes a break. So I suggest it is a carrier-pigeon. Only his head has a cock,s-comb. Thats what makes it so funny.
First I was thinking, OK, let him stay there untill Christmas. Then I make a nice soup of him for our dinner;
"Consommé de palombe avec fines-herbes, à l`Armagnac" yumi.....
But how do you feed a bird which is inside a computer? Without food, it probable died before Christmas.
Hey, I just find out, when I click several times in a row, but very quickly, my pigeon speeds up as well. It looks like a Turbo-pigeon.
I wish I had tried that with my ballerina as well. But I don,t have any clue, where to find her.
Well, I think I go to sleep, maybe it,s gone tomorrow. But no, Tweetie is still there.
A time ago I had the same problem. I didn,t even know how I did it, by my first page, where you go into Windows or Internet, is loaded with Chess-Kings, like the ones at the chessboard of Queen Alice. 228 white chess-kings on my monitor, every time I open my p.c. I don,t mind, it looks great, just a bit confusing, but allright!
But the bird. Thats something else! He doesn,t let me concentrate at the game!
So, to keep the story short,
HOW DO I LOOSEN THAT ANIMAL FROM MY CENSOR?

I don't know anything about this specifically but try the following.
Assuming that you are running Windows XP (other versions of Windows should be similar) the first thing I'd try is to open the Control Panel and double click on the Mouse icon. Then click on the 'Pointers' tab. In the customize window look for the cursors that have changed ('normal select' presumably) highlight them and click the 'Use default' button.
And of course NEVER EVER install software that is offered to you via adverts, you could end up with a lot worse that a changed cursor. If you haven't already I would run a check for unwanted software (spyware for instance). You can get good free tools to do this. Send me a message privately if you think you need to do this.

Well, thank you Jahhaj,
Ive got Windows.98, but got rid of the bird, the way you explained. Thanks again. In the beginning it maybe looks funny, but afterwards it gets on your nerves.
I believe, nobody has to feel pity for the pigeon, he did,nt starve of hunger. The bloody bird eated about 2/3 part of my sensor.
To jahhaj,
I think I need some more help from you for these unwanted software programs. I found myself a program, anti-spyware, which I loaded into my p.c. system, but if its enough, or if it works...I don,t know..
I got another problem, but this I will sent to you in a private message.

Today all those funny figures showed up again, next to my chessboard.
And for those who like to experiment how it looks, I have got very good news. Because this time I was not as impulsive as I normally am. Hahh.. they don`t trick me twice that way. This time I read first everthing what was written there, and made sure that there is a way to get rid of everything I wanted to try.(there is a default button!)
It is called "Cursor Mania", I have got the link, so, if somebody want to have a look.... contact me. I don`t write it down, overhere, for not getting blamed if anything goes wrong.
Well, the first thing I did is searching my ballerina. My wife was not home at that moment 
Now, that was not so easy. Last time, as I was so impacience, I did not realize there are so much. Pages and pages full of them. Lucky I had time enough, and finally found her. Still dancing the Hoolahoop.
But surprise, surprise, next to her, there is another lady in bathing cloths, also dancing but.... no, no, not really that you say; WOW!
She is beautifull as well, and she dances stylefully, but she is kind of dancing, like she is at school, in a dance-lesson classroom, a bit uncertain.... a bit slowly....not bored, but she looks more a lazy girl to me.....not shaking her hips like my hoolahoop girl. It looks more as if it is the partner of Ray Duque III at a Ballroom Dancing contest. Stylefull, very tender and slow, but very carefull, a perfect Ballroom Dancing, But not like WHAM!!!!!Not a party-animal, you know what I mean?
So, I clicked on Hawaii-Go-Gal, (thats how I call her, hè, Hawaii is an exotic island in the pacific, and go is -> and then <- (like swinging OK) and gal is girl) and there she went... dancing on top of my chessboard.
Great to look at. And she ain`t a racist, I tell you...she danced with the white King, she danced with the black King, she danced with all the Bishops.....But listen, she also danced with the Queens....you think that is normal?.. or is she èh? ......
Well, I think it`s OK, I heard in the Dikso`s nowedays everyone dances with everyone..it is so dark, you don`t notice whom you`re dancing with anyway.
Well, You remember how I speeded up my pigeon? I did it with the hoolahoop girls as well.
SENSATIONAL!....I can tell you, you don`t believe your eyes.
She is dancing like a female clone of John Travolta! And she can TapDance much better and more quickly then Fred Astaire. You hardly can follow her with your eyes wide open, how she curls around all the pawns. If it would be OTB Chess, the game would be over in a split second. There is not one pawn left after one rugby scrum from this lady. And I think it is not my imagination, I really hear the clickin of her heels on the Chessboard-floor. Like KLIK KLAK KLIKKLAKKLAK etc...but more quickly then you can read. Better not tell the owners of Cursor Mania, otherwise the raise the price immidiately.
And when she...
DAMN,
I hear the frontdoor,
My wife is coming home...
I put HawaiiGoGal quickly back on her spot..
(p.s. She is at the page "Most Popular" [of course..] and then you must click on "New Featured"
Tell you the rest later...OK
Oh, by the way,
I also saw my pigeon back, and guess what...
all creatures around him are moving...
but Tweetie is not flying anymore....
he looks also skinny...
doesn`t get enough cursors to eat I guess...
Do you think they can accuse me
of the bird not flying anymore?

That's gonna cost you a lot of money!!
how long was the girl dancing? you know you have to pay for an hour even if you have 'finished' before. 
I think when i go and look your hawaiien girl i think she will be grandma right now. the birds are all eaten and everything slowly will dye. Online living is not for everyone, mostly you have a very short life so they won't survive for long!
So don't worry: when your wife surches your PC using 'history' she will see nothing harmfull UNLESS you haven't deleted those other sites
