What's with the change of the forum????

I really don't like the new stuff with additional ads and the very annoying recent search thingy that pops up on the left side of the screen. Let's go back to the way it was. Hey DickA,wassup???:?:?

  • I don't see any of that annoying stuff either.

    BUT ... I'm using good old Internet Explorer, Version 9, with it's tools adjusted to block adds, plus some other adjustable blocking capabilities tweaked.
  • I'm on a Mac using Safari and I don't have the pop-up ads.
  • It's not the forum. Running IE on mine and none of the stuff you're talking about appear on my screen.
  • That's an adware "virus" you've got. It will show up on other websites you visit, too. Find out its name and Google how to get rid of it. If you use Chrome, it will have installed itself as an extension you probably can't deactivate normally (don't know about other browsers). This has happened to us, on two different computers, 2 or 3 times. The last one took me about an hour to find out how to dig that damn thing out.

    You can TRY rolling back to your computer's last restore point, but that didn't help me on the last one.

    P.S. Oops, sorry. I see you figured it out earlier, don't know how I missed your post. FWIW, you will seldom know how you got it. Here's the removal guide for the yours: How to remove WebGet adware (Virus Removal Guide)
  • I keep getting this annoying elated searches popup on the left side of my screen every time I change a page on the forum and also additional ads. You have to close the popup and then shift the page back to the left.
    ooppss,found out what it is. It's a website called Topic Torch by webget.com It tells you how to get rid of it,BUT it doesn't work and I can't figger out where it came from.
