  Anyone seen some text at the bottom of the page in either Japanese/Korean...whatever it is?...please look at the screenshot below on the bottom left...only happening in Maxthon on WGT pages. Anyone have any clue/idea what that is?

  Just so you folks know. I saw something very simliar to this a while back on Maxthon. I got in touch with Maxthon through facebook, and they told me it was something to do with ads for a holiday special in Asia (or something, lol). It could be they are doing another one.

  I just found the message they sent me back then, here it is:

   

  Hi James, Sorry for the inconvenience brought to you. The ads icon in quick access was meant for Chinese users. It was mistakenly pushed to international version of Maxthon. It's not a virus, it is an advertisement for the 11th of November (11/11) festival, mainly celebrated in China as Singles' Day ( for people who are single). It has become the largest online shopping for Alibaba's sites Tmall and Taobao... Do not worry, I'm talking to our team to see how this ad can be controlled and not be pushed to international users.

   

  Maybe they have done it again?

  If you right click on the ad and click 'settings', then uncheck the 'Show Tips and Tricks on Status Bar' in the settings, it removes it (at least it did for me).

  thanks for the feedback guys..

   

  2-1...thanks for the response from Maxthon

  ....it is a link and, you know...sometimes you just want to click it even when you know you shouldn't...especially since sometimes it has the yellow square with a big red exclamation point in the middle...just daring you to infect your system....lol

  wonder if I could get some black market wgt balls or clubs on it and then come back and open my own little pro shop under the radar.
