For the last month, whenever I open up talkbass.com (and ONLY this site I've checked) my modem resets itself which is very annoying. i go and click say "basses" and when I open up what page I was just on...its always some fastclick or porn site! ***!

Download an anti-malware app, update it, boot into safe mode, run the scan, clean infections, reboot into normal mode, be more careful what websites you visit from now on.

I highly suggest panda cloud AV as my free AV of choice that or Linux.

It's highly unlikely you got it from TB, clear out your cookies and temp files, run a scan and call me in the mornin.

Don't blame me the company named it that.
Yes, I have already flogged myself for saying it.

I read an article claiming that paid porn sites are less likely to give you bugs than things like celebrity gossip sites, etc. The porn folks like to keep their customers "happy"! LOL
