About the Ads
Due to the overwhelming load of bad ads that the other ad companies have been delivering to us, I have reverted the site back to using only google ads. While not having the diversity of multiple ad companies might hurt us in the short term, I am worried about that harm that the pop-ups, redirects, and other bad things that the other ad companies have been doing will affect us worse in the long term.

Sorry to comment hop but I had the same issue. I had to actually go to Best Buy and pay $140 to have my computer repaired because it was so badly infected. Turns out I had over 160 malware/spyware/virus programs on my PC once it was cleaned up. I had protective measures running on my computer but when one thing sneaks in, it basically stops your programs from functioning. You may have to reinstall your PC if you're still having an issue.

i don't think that ij gave you all 160, but they have a tendency to multiply once you get one infection. my programs did not all stop functioning since the trojan i got was cleaned up somewhat quickly, but who knows if spyware is still lurking around. i ran about 10 scans and did a complete clean out (without a reformat) and everythign seems alright now.

next time you think you may have an infection, go to this forum! i googled and actually ended up fixing everything in a few days myself without a lot of hardware knowledge, etc. sorry best buy stole all of your money. :-(
