is this spam pop-up problem for any other PA users?
has PA been hijacked, or is it filthy advertisement?
It closes the window, and on school's computer, i think there came Trojan
(it's not on the forum, but when first entering PA after new window)

This thing previously hijacked one of the pro radio station sites & left some kind of spyware behind on my PC. It was, however, easily detected and removed by Spybot.

Still linked with the problem I had last week (and keeps happening)
I think mostly linked to the database part of the site.

I have emailed Max about this issue.
Any chance someone can grab a view of what is occurring?
Use PrtScr or a screen capture program.

It is very difficult to remove this Spyware. I have tried everything. The most annoying thing is that it not only throws me out of PA but right off the browser as well. The only time I get this happening is when I enter PA. I wonder if the server is infected??
Is anyone else still getting this v annoying Spyware?? Is anything being done to rid it's presence from PA??

Given the popularity of ZoneAlarm, could you give some details of how you did that Aussie?

M@x and Sean [and others affected]
The only way I can avoid getting this spyware is to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. As soon as I open PA with IE6 that pesky "systemdoctor" window throws me back to the desktop. It is only associated with IE for some reason. I still think there is a file hidden on this site that needs to be got rid of. This does not happen with any other sites. I am also using "Spyware Doctor" [not freeware] from PC Tools.com which is the only anti-spyware program that I have used that has successfully detected "systemdoctor" on my computer.
Please can something be done about cleaning this pest from PA asap?

I think mailto:M@X - M@X is working on it, but this is obvioulsly not easy to fix
Let's all be patient.
Yes getting cut off is bothersome but I use the Task manager to stop it, and I get a few hours without problems.

That error safe thing is getting on my nerves, I'm glad to know that others have the same problem, it proves to me that my computer isn't a specific target for trouble makers
