My websites like the one listed here are constantly getting jacked by some crap cnet surveys or other b.s. IT IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME since I downloaded the latest firefox. I am very disgusted. This has been going on for friggin months, and I have been patiently waiting for an update that would fix it. I'm not one to complain. I have literally tried a dozen friggin times to read this news story, and can't do it because the page gets jacked. Popups are continuous also. What's happened to Firefox? It's bad when I say I'd rather use explorer, yes?

Hello Dawn.

Is this happening on all browsers or just Firefox? If it's just Firefox, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
