Pop Up Adds?!!, WTF?...
I'm getting/ have got popup adds on this site!, is this just me, have I picked up some strange Trojan program?, or is it the site?, anyone else had this happen?.

I'd say you've got some funny trojan. Check your task manager to see whats running. Or go to msconfig to remove them from startup

I use IE, and I don't have the problem.
Were you able to find anything funny running on your PC? Do you have any weird plugins installed for your browser? I'm out of suggestions otherwise. (for now...) |

Kay!, it's some program that installed itself, but I don't know where from! cause I had only just connected(dial up) to the internet and ProCooling is my HomePage.
It's called GAIN, something to do with Gator(were'nt they like KaZaA?) could'nt remove it from the 'Add~Remove programs' in Control Panell, had to delete the folders and stuff(whohoo!, another trip to the Registry!!  )...

I was doing quite a bit of work on the site yesterday, there were a handful of Apache resets by me while doing some of the config changes.
Looking at MRTG we didnt have a slow down in bandwidth at all you were prolly just trying to look at the site durring apache reloads

Yeah, crap like Comet Cursor and Bonzi Buddy will install themselves if you visit a site with IE that has them. I hate it, you hit cancel and it still installs it. Reason #124 I don't like IE.
