Even with all that I still get a 'redirect' to some work at home site that when you X out takes you to another site, ditto, ditto about 4 or five sites before you end up back where you started. I'll tell DH about the Malwarebytes and AVAST that others recommended. Otherwise, I think I'll at least need a new hard drive to get rid of all this. Isn't there something the ADMIN can do? I've never had such a problem on any other forum and I really don't want to have to stop coming here.
When you get this type of "virus" report it to your internet provider. Report it as spam. My provider blocks alot of stuff like that. Mostly on my e-mail. I rarely get spam any more. I got it a few years ago and it took over my computer. My husband had to rebuild, but it was never the same afterward.
