I was just in the middle of reading a forum message and suddenly was switched to this site and couldn't get back here with my normal hotlink. I have always in the past entered via //www.dpchallenge.com. Is this no longer viable here? any idea what happened?

Never mind...it seems to be working ok now.????? That was really weird - it took me to a gambling site of some sort, even when I entered the address manually.

you have spyware on your computer....you need to run adaware...

HiJacked. Run ad-aware or spybot.

I just got Webroot Spybot and it works great! They have a 30 day free trial. It removed about 60 active spyware programs, and 600+ traces of bad stuff. My computer runs faster now as well. I'm going to go ahead and buy it after my 30 days are up.

Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy are both freeware for personal use and both work great.

same thing happened to me tonight, too. the only site that was affected was DPC.

Well, as soon as I posted my reply to my first message I figured that I had spyware somewhere, and am now running Adaware. I hadn't run it for a while. Sorry for the alarm. This is the first time I have been hijacked like that...no fun!
