You've Been Hacked!!!!

I've got double underlined links spread all over people's posts, and 3 or 4 times now, when clicking on a new page to catch up on the news, I was directed to a search engine I have never heard of. What's Up With That?????

Haven't experienced anything like that. Wonder what happened? The board was down for a while today, but hopefully is wasn't caused by someone/something nasty.

If that does not work boot your computer in safe mode (assuming a windows system) with network capability.

Go to Malwarebytes.org and download their malware program and run it while in safe mode.

Update your anti-virus software and run that. If you do not have an anti-virus program go to Microsoft.com and download Security essentials (it's free).

Good luck.
