I have yet to experience any of this. For those of you using windows you should turn on your windows firewall if you have XP Pro. I browse this site at all different times as I work the odd shift and have never been attacked on the web or this site. The firewall will stop all incoming messages from windows. It doesn't sound like a hacker. A real hacker wouldn't be bothered with this site. It wouldn't be worth their trouble. Hackers, the real ones, do not lower themselves to script kiddie level. Sounds to me like you picked up something from your browsers not this site and it infected your machine, hence, the popups. I haven't had any popups appear from this site when browsing and I dont use any fancy software. Just windows firewall. ;)
