OK, been coming to Gamers Hell quite a while...no problems. You have popups, but they WERE tame. Today I got one that was a VERY small window, half-obscured at bottom of page. I clicked on the X to close it, and I got BOMBED with malware. TV Media directory and a TON of ancilliaries. Ad-Aware found 217 registry entries from it...almost 400 files total. I got rid of all but TV Media...that one is resisting HijackThis! like a beetch! Housecall got rid of about 4 malwares, but still I can't dump this URL Search Hook and TV Media directory. Been fighting this for 3 hours now. You may have limited control over your advertisers' popups, but I am NOT going through this again! Can you do anything about this? I know I am not much help, as I didn't read the window, but most are normal sized windows...this was a one inch square one...and it is LETHAL! PLEASE help me stay with my favorite game news site.
