or should they be reported.

This one is parked at the bottom of the window and stays there when you scroll. I know there is used to be a constant battle against the ones that popped up, but I haven't seen one of these on here before.

Digging through the ad, which greys out the site with a layover, I found links to radioshack.com and phonesreview.co.uk.

Ran across the ad again and was able to get some addtional information directly from the source (as I was looking for it this time):
