reply to post by SkepticOverlord I think I found the source of the problem. I believe that one of the ads we saw either on this site or another had implemented malware to our computer. Today, while viewing my email through yahoo, I was redirected to another page, with the same layout as the ones I experienced by being redirected to this site (with the "please click here to go back" timer on top of the page). My solution to anyone still having this problem is to run spybot S&D or lavasoft ad-aware to delete them from your computer. My computer received the spyware file, while using firefox.

reply to post by silverking I do not use IE. It is waaay too easy to hijack. Within minutes of using it, I am whisked off on a whirlwind tour of porn sites. Same thing with windows messenger. Nonstop solicitation from prostitutes. [edit on 7-20-2008 by groingrinder]

I clicked on this thread and ended up here. I use the latest version of Firefox. The problem is ongoing. [edit on 7/20/08 by Sleuth]
