Lately the pop ups at the site are gettin bad. I've gotten viruses that tankfully have been caught by the antivirus program, sometimes commercials will start playing in the background without been able to turn them off, one time I even had this movie playing in the background without been able to see it or turn it off. I've also gotten warnings from microsoft that said that this site was unsafe so far and so on.... It all started when those adds at top came in. Is there a way to change those back to how it was, that way we don't have to deal with all that crap?

hmm i havent seen any of this. Maybe mozilla is good at auto blocking them.

[EliXColdiron]

I use chrome and I haven't had any problems.

[amiaturtle]

so maybe if I change my browser it would fix that problem hu...

Problem is that I've changed it to chrome before and had to change back to Explorer since some of the programs I use for work had problems with chrome...darn.

[DesertCamo]

try mozilla firefox...explorer blows

Sounds like you got spyware/adware. there are no popups on this site.

down load both of those and run em.

youll be surprised how much shit Mcafee misses.

[amiaturtle]

can i run those at the same time with McAfee or do I have to disable McAffe?

[JBlaze]

McAffee is shit. Try using Symantec or Kaspersky.

And yes to your question. You can run them with McAffee enabled.

I've never gotten any popups on this site.

i dont get pop-ups persay, but every once in a while, an ad will start playing in the background and teh only way to shut it off is to close the site. something is off. i know i dont have a virus or malware im on a brand new pc sooo. something is up.

[JBlaze]

Well I'm not taking the ads down. They are what's helping pay for the site and stuff. Unless you folks want to help me find another way of earning money to keep up the site that's not out of my own pocket.

Well if they are helping you out I guess its best to leave them up there then. Will let you know if I run into anymore problems if ever.

[ThatDude407]

leave em, it doesnt bother me that much and like i said its rare that it happens

I've used the malware remover so far on both my computers and I guess some stuff does go thru McAfee.

Thanks TD.
