Is this your site doing this I know this is a free site and you pay your bills with ads But Do I have a Virus or is this what I have to look forward to? <img src=http://img.claspics.com/2cjnk37v/hom04ccf/1385764086-750.jpg_m.jpg?1385764095>

Not from us. We don't use popups or inline ads.

Please run a malware scan on your computer

How safe are those ads that appear below my resonse? You had one that appeared for a saftyscan, when I researched it it was not free! Yes it did scan my PC but then asked me to pay to remove the Problem? I know I was redirected by the virus but when I signed on at my work PC 30 miles away, I hope a different IP Address Same ad? It is no longer being displayed?

None of those are in my opinion.
