Spamming

There's seems to be a lot of spam and viruses on evom lately....My antivirus keeps picking up tons of trojan horses and malware from the random popups on this site. Is anyone else having trouble like this?

I doubt it's from this site, I've been on here for 7 years and haven't had an issue with virus and spyware from this site.

try using firefox instead of internet explorer.

This site itself doesn't trigger popups. You must have picked up the adware from other sites. So, stop looking at ****.

You have some sort of malware or adware running on your comp. There are no pop-ups on EvoM. Run your AV program and some sort of anti-adware/spyware program, such as SpyBot.
