I'm using Internet Explorer 11.0.96. I see different scamware on each forum: "Fix your PC speed" "This content requires Media Player 12.2 update. Would you like to install it now?" "Low Disk Space - Repair Windows Errors"


Is anyone else seeing this junk?


Can anyone suggest how to get rid of it?

Joe,


I am not seeing this on any browser, logged in or out. It's possible you have some adware installed already that is overwriting our ad units. If you can get me the source code of one of the scammy ads, that would be greatly appreciated.

I've got an older processor and the ads on the site, even when logged in, were really taxing it. I was also receiving warnings from Norton that the site was unsafe. The issue was on the HTF, I wasn't having that problem elsewhere.

Sorry, I'll try to send any further alerts from Norton. I do update it daily.
