Need some help


We identified the problem with that pop up window that kept coming up. It appeared to be a remnant ad server spitting out some malicious javascript. We shut it down the other day, but it has started happening again this morning.

The problem appears to have come from a small remnant ad provider, and that provider has been removed.

If you still get the page hijack (virus scanner fake page) after 3:30 PM EST STD (January 8th, 2009), please post on this thread.

Thanks so much for your understanding.

Who knew the seasons when to take
Occasion by the hand, and make
The bounds of freedom wider yet

about 3pm est, 1-8-09. My page was redirected, but at least I didn’t get a message from my anti-virus program that a virus had to be moved to a vault.
