Yeah. Battling a virus that wiped out my browser and all my bookmarks. Always fun.

One thing I always check is to see if a program installed without my knowledge (sometimes some sneaky stuff can get installed when you install software or updates). Go to the control panel and click the "uninstall programs." A list of the programs installed on your computer will show up. Click "installed on" on the top menu and that should arrange the programs according to the date they were installed. Then look at the last couple of days and see if there is a program there that looks suspicious that installed around the time you started having trouble. If so, uninstall it. Be careful though and make sure it is something that's not supposed to be there.

Other than the banner at the bottom of the page, we never put ads on the board. Pop-up or otherwise.
I didn't mean that you guys were doing it. Could have been a browser thing or from the forum site database software or anything. That's why I asked if anybody else was getting it instead of just assuming it was coming from the site.
Turns out it's a bug I picked up when I printed out some coupons.

Oh good, you figured out what was causing it?
