There's definitely something going on. When I opened the main page today my spyware blocker stopped a program trying to connect to my puter. I don't know if it was malicous or not but I aborted it not taking any chances. :evil:

Picked up a virus off this forum this evening using IE. Mozilla works but tries to open a .pdf doc. Please get this fixed...

Ads have been removed from the entire site except for known sponsors.

PLEASE let me know if you see anything funny from this point forward. We're gonna let this ride a while and see if there are no more issues.

I'm sorry on behalf of The BN for any trouble this has caused anyone.

I appreciate your efforts code, for this and a lot of other reasons I owe you beers.

I had my puter lock up last night when visiting the BN forum, I had an audio message play that said something like, you've been selected. I didnt notice the ad that caused that. I was too busy restarting, scanning. Sorry, next time I will look for the troublemaker.
