Media Fastclick Trojan Pop Ups
I don't know if this is happening to anyone else using this forum, but every time I open up the Canada forum I get Media Fastclick pop-ups advertising various things. It's so annoying. I have all the latest virus software and updates and have done several scans to try to locate it on my computer but it doesn't find the virus. Now I was wondering if it has anything to do with the Brits Expats Forum? ...... as it only happens when I log in to the Forum, not from any other site. It's not even the case that I always look at this site first. Does anyone else experience this or is it just me?
Thanks
