Comment: Hi, I run a few forums, one day my curiosity got the best of me and I clicked a members link to see who it was that signed up. The links they usually left were like "xyzd.com/houses.html or ilqi.com/cars.html or something, strange names with four letter names and a strange ending to it. Nonetheless the pages didn't work. I didn't think too much of it at the time but now I know something happened to my computer. Everytime I go to certain sites like amazon.com or something and I try 2 enter my email address to log in I see emails that don't even belong to me that were registered in the forum by the hacker. For example my email would be oranges@yahoo.com and I would see oldies@xyad.com or something. The only way I found to get rid of it was in firefox I would go to Tools and click Clear Private Data but then the problem would still be there again when they just create another user name. I did run kaspersky, lava adaware, and spydoctor but the problem still exists. What can I do to fix this problem or am I screwed for life for running a forum since they will just keep entering a new email and user name over and over. I even switched to my laptop and the problem exists for the laptop as well when they create a new user name and email only to see their email pop up on my browser when I tried to log onto like amazon.com with the same letter email address.
