sittercity.com ???
something weird has been happening to me when I come on the forum and click on new posts, the screen changes to sitter.com
https://www.sittercity.com/?pc=cjaf&...203897&afsrc=1
I hit back and sometimes it just skips past the forum and goes back to my homepage but last time just now I stayed on the site copied the link and when I hit back it did take me back to the forum.
It is only on this site this has happened.
is one of the adds forwarding me to sitter.com?
very strange to say the least
and besides, i don't need a sitter and would never find one on the freakin internet

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

also by the way John,
way down on bottom of page is a link to top 100 fishing sites, that is a dead site so I think you can remove that next time you're doing site stuff

talk about a browser hijack
that sucks....
i'd run some malware software and look for it
open your control panel and click on internet so that's already open
then minus it to your taskbar
then right click your S-B icon and run it as administrator
once there... @ s-b see if your re-directed
and if so pop the internet settings back up off your taskbar
and see if it says sittercity.com in there
then high- light it and delete it...
put what ever your homepage is supposed to be in that box and hit apply then save

OK, I ran that and it went for 2 hours, found some stuff, I had it remove them as suggested. restarted computer.
I just went online was looking some stuff up and when I finished that went to click on this site and instead of S-B it took me to sittercity.com again. those freaking weasels
maybe I missed something. I'll get Melissa to run it again when she comes home tonight from work.

This was happening with Firefox, so now I will use Chrome from now on and see if it happens again

my question is, what company thinks that this is a good marketing ploy?
it would make any potential customer HATE sittercity, no?

Sounds like a browser hi-jack - I have not heard of that one.
Try creating a new shortcut/ favorite and delete the existing one - something may have overwritten the one you had before

i just fixed a sorta s-b related problem
as anytime i went into my s-b control panel
and clicked send message
a web finder program would launch
so i went into my computers control panel
and remove programs section and deleted "BROWSE SMART"
which i suspected was the culprit and killed it manually
now when i click send message in s-b nothing launches
except the recipient window

I don't see any reports of a hack directing to that site. Are you typing in the address or using an existing bookmark or link? First thing I'd check is the latter...the malware tool won't correct that.

existing bookmark for both s-b.com and for weei.com when it happened
I stopped using firefox for now.
Raven, I will try that advanced system care you told me about rather than the free AVG we have now
Melissa said maybe delete those links
it just seems very strange

Bruce - keep AVG Free I have not used "Advanced System Care" but it is a malware (and others) tool but not front line anti-virus.

no John it does it all ..........and particularly virus prevention
i just tried doing a screen capture because the program does so much
there's way to much to list it... but it wont let me capture it, darn
real time protection, surfing protection, including Malware
granted, it does have a separate malware program but the ultimate version has it included .... and for the purchase price
it will cover 3 computers on one license

usually what shows in the banner is the last site you were on
say your looking at books at AMAZON dot com
then amazon will be up there
looking at boats somewhere ...then a boat ad may appear
not always - but a page in perhaps
