Are you getting any here? If so, let me know the advertiser and I'll find out which company they are coming from and have them removed.

Ok. Again, if they are found out to be from here, or any of our sites please let me know. I prefer to have them removed when found.

Don't want to panic you or anything, but it might be worthwhile running through Microbells 5 steps (see link in my sig) and see what turns up. If you're still concerned, post a HijackThis Log in the Security Forum and we can at least let you know if you're clean or not. Although the pop ups may have died, there could still be some bad files hiding on your system.
