What's with all the SPAM today
Why is there so much spam on the site today? Seems like many key words in posts are being picked up and spammed with advertisements. Lot's of pop-ups Also had a quilt survey for Missouri Star Quilt Co.? I'm signing off an will reboot an see what happens!
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
I have never gotten spammed or a popup from the M* site. I would check your settings and/or your virus protection program. You may have picked up a trojan or tracking cookie someplace that is allowing all this.

No spam for me. I block popups.

I like my Spam lightly fried with crackers.
No internet spam here.
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
I like fried Spam too! But there's no spam here...fried or otherwise.
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
No spam internet or with crackers today. Sounds like you've got some computer gremlins. Time to dump the cookies.

Spam the post nuclear meat..............oh wait sorry, not what you meant! Nope, no spam here, never one ounce of that from MSQC. Karen has it right!
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
I got that last week...had to run virus check and clean up my computer. So irritating.
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
I'm at home now and no problems. I was on a computer at dad's house and I think there are some gremlins I still need to clean up. Had to get home so will tackle it again tomorrow. Not sure what to do. The virus program is working fine, but I think someone downloaded something with adware or malware. Thanks for the replies.

I'm on much later than the rest of you but none here either.Maybe you need to run your virus scan.
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
I have the same problem here. DH thought he took care of it but I will tell him he's got more work to do.
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
No spam , no pop ups here.
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
No spam here in the UK, just me that's crackers! ;)
Re: What's with all the SPAM today
Sharyn - go into your control panel and delete any suspicious looking program. I had the same thing (tons of spam) and I knew when it started so I knew what to delete by the date. This solved my problem.

I use a program called Malware Bytes to clean it up. You can get a trial version and use it to get rid of any malware.
