My last post was to point out the two hackers on the site. One making the last post in Lehigh and the other a Japan tourism post.

I been using AVG Free for several years and getting along real good. Knock Knock ! I did put on a new ad blocker a while back and right now it has a count of 20 off this site alone. Have found several forums that have a bunch of ad crap on them. Some ant virus software will look at ad's as viruses.

That is because some ads ARE malware/adware. Quite a bit more than you would imagine also. Many of them pretend to be a malware warning popup. Then offer a utility to clean it.

NEVER click on that stuff. Aside from an ad blocker you can also turn off Flash by website. Both FireFox and Chrome offer this option. Flash will still run on websites you allow.
