This is the only common website that I go onto that has an issue with advertisements that contain viruses. I'm not sure if there is anything in your power to stop or disable these malicious ads from showing up but I've come to recognize what they look like and avast! Antivirus (has always been correct and reliable) recognizes them as a Trojan every time.

 

do you know which advertisements they are? We have never had any problems before, so it surprises me that you are now.

Can you tell me what error message or anti-virus message you are getting?

 

When the screen pops up the top window to tell the company/website comes up with only a dot. What I'll do is when I have that issue again I'll take some screen shots for you.

 

Thanks! that would be helpful.

 

interesting...

 

The ads are overrunning my computer. I don't even have to click on them and they open up on my screen, it's annoying the hell out of me.

 

You need AdWare protection programs Sean. Once an advertising place gets your IP they'll keep sending you crap.

 

I have restored everything back to how it was. This didn't happen before. What is happening is that when I drag the mouse over an ad it pops open instead of me having to click it open. Actually, I think it's just that Ace hardware ad which comes up a lot.

 

ya that ace just started getting me today. and now the craftsmen one and a lasik one are doin it to. these new fangled adds are extremely annoying

 

yea that ace one is a real pain.. blocks screen and the close button does not work..

I love the site, and know it needs to sell advertising, but that ACE pop up sucks! lol
