Angry SITE HACKED? POP-UPS!
What's the deal? Has the site been hacked or spomething?
I keep getting a whole new window popping up with an ad for the "Money Cash": and "Back Stage Pass - Santa Barbara Film Festival"......, even though I don't click on anything!
Site needs tracked an eliminated! It's "Unwanted junk mail!

It's probably on your computer, try running adaware, it should clean you right out!

Frank,

Your computer is infected with a SPYWARE. Take SRG's advice and run a cleaner program to try and get rid of it. I don't think you got it from this site. You either went to a bad site or received a bad email from someone with an attachment that you opened.

There's some FREE software that you can download to try and get rid of anything you might have on your computer. Type " SPYBOT Search & Destroy" or "Adaware" into Google or whatever you use to search and download the software. After you have it on your computer (it will put an icon on your desktop) click and run it. It takes awhile to run a full scan but you'll be able to get rid of anything it finds when it's done.

I have 3 different SPYWARE programs that I run separately at least twice a week to keep my computer clean besides Norton and another program that keeps an eye out all the time. I'm getting no Pop-ups and no warnings from this or any of the PT, KIA or Corvette sites that I go to.

It's odd; but I was only getting the agressive pop-ups while I was on this site. I ran my Norton Virus Scan & Spyware Scan. Nothin'!
But, seems to be OK this evening.
