Cube43200 said:2) Get a decent POP BLOCKER - again NOT from any of the no name, freebie sites. The one I downloaded from miscrosoft is really effective.

3) Don't EVER under any circumstance PRESS ON a POP UP - and this applies to the "X" to close it down. The safest way to CLOSE down a pop up is by RIGHT clicking on it, and if doesn't allow you this option, leave it alone; that or simply shut your computer off BUT without touching the pop ups. The other way is to press the CONTROL/ALT/DELETE buttons together.

If you don't fix this problem, you are going to start losing posters.
Now I really enjoy this site and I would hate to be chased away by virus', but my machine is worth more to me than this site.
You have a responsibility to make sure this site is safe.
