I have noticed in some of my post the page goes way down and starts having links like freemoviesonline..freegamesonline..etc...Like five or six of them it also does it when I get on chat. So my question is have any of you had this problem?? In some of my early post I noticed a member said somthing to the effect of " what's free movies got to do with it"...I don't know it's like some kinda hitch hiker or monkey on my back and my norton 360 points to this site..Might need staff involved in this one to get to bottom of it.If anyone could give me info..that would be great! I don't understand it and if it is spyware or a virus it needs to be cut off like cancer, hit me back here or pm me.THANKS

What do you mean by it "goes way down"? Does it scroll down automatically or something else?

How are the links displayed? Are they regular ads, popup windows, or something else?

If it happens again, try taking a picture of the screen just so people can see what exactly is going on. In case you don't know, it's easy to take a screen shot. Press the "Control" and "Print Screen" keys on your keyboard at the same time. Then go into MS Paint and press "Control" and "V" to paste the picture. You can use Paint to crop out whatever you want.

I haven't seen this before, but I did have a different problem where my page was being redirected to a different page automatically. It doesn't sound like that is the problem here. This sounds like it could be a problem so the mods will probably get involved depending on what it is. The screen shot would probably be the most helpful if you can get it.

So you're talking about the links in your posts? Does this happen every time you post?
This is definitely not something from the site cause we don't use any form of malware or adware ever. Plus we have no affiliation with them.

It sounds like your computer is infected and is inserting those links to posts you make. This has never happened to anyone else, I highly suggest you do a virus scan on your computer and stop posting until you've taken care of it.

The site itself does not give viruses or any of that stuff that harms your computer. There are times however when the ads on here do disrupt the page. There have been reports of redirects but this is a first, and as david said it kinda sounds like your computer might have already been infected before noticed the weird links in your posts.

It actually starts to make sense from the virus pov. There are many bots out there that post links on sites it could be possible this virus is a built in link spammer so when you post on forums it generates links. Thats just a guess.
