I had the problem with the pop ups and my computer got a virus. I use good protection so it finally went away. I had a problem with the board that when I would start to get on my Micro Trend would tell me to get off that it was a dangerous page and would block my getting on until I tried a second or third time. I did notify the board about this problem but never heard back but the problem stopped soon after. It has been awhile now with no problems.
