Mike, when I click on the discussion forums page from the PA home page a Go Daddy ad page pops up. I 'x' it out, then when I enter a topic link, the same Go Daddy page pops up. When I go from topic to topic, and/or discussion group, the Go Daddy ad pops up first.

I think it's sigmachat.com.

This has now happened every time I go to PA forums. It started early on Saturday.

Any suggestions on how to stop this or why it is happening?

Thanks.

Lately, every time I log on to this site a popup tells me that IE has blocked Godaddy somethingorother.

Deleted PA from favorites.

Reselected PA and added to favorites.

Works OK

I uninstalled I-Explorer as my browser, replacing it with Firefox.

The Go, Daddy spam ended immediately. Now, I need to configure the Firefox browser to view you tube type videos.

I know what the problem is. It isn't a hack or anything like that, or a virus.

I am pointing to some old sigmachat URLS (they used to host the war room).

AddonChat (which was formerly sigmachat) has obviously discontinued the URLs to sigmachat, and that's why that godaddy page is coming up.

I should be able to fix this pretty easily.

But just rest assured, it's only an inconvenience...not some sign that there has been a hack or malware or whatever.

If you use Chrome, you probably won't see this...but I was able to recreate it with Internet Explorer...

Thanks Mike for keeping us informed on this.

I hated IE anyway, so it was a good 'excuse' to change.
