Winfixer Popup

Post by RID Scourge »

Anyone else get that one when they come here? It kinda makes me uneasy, as there is a virus that can force your computer to automatically download it. It's a pain in the ass to remove, and it makes me uneasy every time I see that popup. Any chance of choosing a less sketchy popup for this site?

unless you have some spyware on your system it didn't come from us, we removed all the popups/paid ads months ago. Try running Ad-Aware and if you have XP the MS anti-spyware program is pretty good too (remember to run them in safemode after updating them)

I've been getting it as well, I've already run Ad-ware etc but it is still there. Pops up everytime I come to the site

I'm getting nothing, and my PC's about as well-covered as Jenna Jameson's virtue.
