Sorry to hear that Kaju and good to know you have things under control. Even though I use a Mac, I clean the Cache manually from time to time. I use to get those annoying pop ups too. Heard that removing manually is better than using those clean-up applications. (Not sure though)

I used a malware removal tool that I've used before, and all is back to normal now. Thanks Carol!

Thanks so much again Carol:) Check out our great Tokyo story as well as my Efren Reyes match win video play by play:)

If you don't yet, I will happily return the favor when yours is up.:)

You downloaded some software (I'm guessing something that was free), that included this in the package. Naw, they didn't tell you this would happen, but how else do you think they pay for the "free"stuff?

This may be hard to find, as they are far too good at hiding this kind of stuff.

This isn't something that WA did; this is something you did.

Don't download free software ever, unless you can find it on something like Cnet.com.

It was malware, and I've since removed it. All is fine now.
I haven't had this issue in ages.

We cannot live in a bunker either, sometimes we need to download free trials of reputable programs - it can happen.

When it happens, we just have to know how to deal with it.

Yup, reputable is the key. I like cnet for that. Glad you have it resolved - that must have been so frustrating!

Yes its resolved. Usually 95% of the time, I don't have a problem with malware when I am downloading free reputable programs. But it still can happen.

I try to stay away from stuff that looks suspect, like anything that brings several popups to my screen when I visit it. Then clear my cache immediately.

Thanks so much again Jeannine:) Check out our great Tokyo story as well as my Efren Reyes match win video play by play:)

Wiered upgrades and things have been happening here of late, I don't get your type of pop ups but I did notice a few of jays popping up when I hover over trainings...also my sub fee is due yesterday ten days before it is due. No one has answered me yet. I am wondering if something or someone has hacked into our platform and now I'm afraid to pay in case it goes to someone else...

Hey Snazzy, I wouldn't worry too much (although I would be concerned); this turned out to be malware I needd to remove, so I installed Malwarebytes and removed it. Now alll seems to be fine again.

However, check in with Site Support about these other strange things you are seeing. That's appears to be something different than mine:)

That is good news phew :)

Phewwww....!!

Lol:))

Ha!!

I've seen these too on some people's websites here and I was wondering if it was something they were deliberately doing as part of a marketing campaign. Maybe they weren't deliberate. Personally I hat popups with a vengeance and avoid websites that have them if I can help it. I also suggest talking with someone at the Help Center, they are really good.

Hi Luigi, Thanks for the advice, I think it was malware and I removed it. Hopefully it stays this way now:)

Hi friend, I was going to say that it sounds like someone is putting links on to your blogs and things. I have had that before and I have one at the minute that comes up as a 404 which is annoying when I check for broken links. I hope you manage to get rid of them. xxx

I think I've got rid of it now C, I hope it doesn't return!

Good afternoon bro, weird stull happened, nothing like that happens to me. Kick it to the curve, do what you do, may you have a beautiful weekend.

I kicked it to the curb, E. Thanks!

I knew you would my brother, I know nothing's going to stop you from being on top of that mountain success, have a great one

Thanks E, I appreciate it! Keep kicking!

I don't see this anywhere

Good for you Z. Maybe its only my problem?

Thanks so much again Z:) Check out our great Tokyo story as well as my Efren Reyes match win video play by play:)

There's something not right there Kaju. I second Chris.

Yep Mia, I'm also putting in a Site Support ticket now

WHAT?!?! This is isn't good! Would like to see what others say. What the heck is going on, Kaju?
Are you saying that a third party has somehow managed to add these links to your website?
Please let us know what you find out.
C & P

YES C & P. a third-party (program) is adding links to WA Blogs and Comments, and Popups, and all types of suspicious things!

Look here, they have already added a double linked promotion to YOUR Comment HERE NOW!!!

I'm putting in a Site Support ticket on this one!

Good work! YIKES!!!

Goodness me, I don't see that double underline under websites. Its like a clever hacking in on only your profile?
OK Chris makes perfect sense - your browser may have been hacked with Malware.

YIKES was RIGHT!!

Beware of the double line if you see it John! indeed it was malware and it has been removed (hopefully to stay)!

It was Malware C & P, and I removed it now. Used the Malwarebytes Free removal (14 day free trail), and hopefully this doesn't come back!

Still a bit troubling when you see this!

Ah, yeah!!!! Troubling for sure. So sorry, Tribal chief. Please let us all know that things are okay going forward.
Very sorry this happened to you.
xoxo

Sure will keep the Tribe updated, C&P!
I have used Malware removal many times before, but I couldn't remember which were the good ones to use.

Moneytech made a great suggestion in Malwarebytes, and believe it or not I already had it on my computer, but it was expired.

These are all very important reminders, and the lesson here is (even though we haven't used them in a long time) we need to all keep up on these things:)

Your browser may have been hijacked. Run a malware removal tool.

Okay thanks Chris:)

What Free Malware removal tool would you recommend Chris?

I recommend Malwarebytes. It is free and very effective.

You may also want to use CCleaner if you aren't already to remove unneeded data from your browser.

Thanks. How about Total AV or PCProtect.
They are both rated #1 and #2 for Free Malware removal, seems reputable but I don't know the recommender can be trusted.

Hey look Money Mech, your comment even just got one of these spamming links

I also noticed this program removed the link to the Malwarebytes you sent me

Yeah that's malware.
Use the following link to remove it free. I've used Malwarebytes for years, it is by far one of the most powerful free tools out there right now, and very easy to use.
Use: https://www.malwarebytes.com

(also I'm not an affiliate of them, I just love them for all my devices)

Thanks, I'm gonna go there:)

me too (even tho I don't have this particular problem), thank you all

It worked great so far John:)

Thanks MoneyMech. I downloaded the Free Malwarebytes 14-dat Free Trial, and ran a Scan, and this now appears to be gone.

Funny thing, I later realized I had Malwarebytes on my computer already, but it was inactive.

I have used Malware removal tools many times before, but forgot which ones were the good ones. Thanks for that good suggestion:)
