Justin, I know that people pay to put ads on this site, but why is this message underneath new posts in the security forum? It looks like a false positive scan coaxing people into buying the product for removal. Thanks PS- I tried different forums and the message was gone, then I found it again in the XP Forum....also noticing it after this post...hmmm....strange pps- Now it seems gone from under my post....looks like it's a random thing

Hey,
I responded to this on the XP forum. I have changed the ad so it says, "Advertisement" on top of it. I have also changed it so that it no longer has a name or "Comment." As for taking down the slot, I am not allowed to do that as of yet. However, I'm not sure how much longer that ad will be running either way.

It looks as though you have lost control of your site... I hope not!

Ewen,
Justin sold the site to the French. He lost control then.
