Ads and more ads

I promise you it is not the forum that's doing it. Somewhere on your computer there is adware that is redirecting your forum link. You can try deleting the bookmark and creating a new one, but chances are it won't help. You need to remove the software causing the issue. Try disabling and/or removing any browser add-ons - they are notorious for piggybacking adware onto your machine.

Even though we have an absentee landlord, since no one else is reporting a similar problem, it doesn't appear to be anything to do with the370z.com. But I can't promise you that the site hasn't been hacked.

I'm with JARblue and others that you probably have some malware floating around on your computer. I think most browsers have a "safe mode" that will not load add-ons when the browser starts. If that fixes the problem, add back your add-ons, one at a time, until the problem reappears.

If that doesn't work, you need to find a good malware scanner for your OS.

I use my comp and wifey works from home and her boss pays for the internet/ cable etc and has the most up to date virus protection. I believe its an app from Apple that makes Windows and Apple work together and faster. Not a big deal, never thought it was thsi site that caused the ads to appear but the ads are for new and old 370Z's, go figure, maybe one day I will click on it and let it load.
