Wha? :?

It's more likely that your computer has been 'invaded' while you were looking at porn or whatever, because I'm not getting anything like that. Try downloading Ad-Aware.

If you're talking about the evil on the Cantr front page, it's been mentioned before.

Pie does have a point.

Some of those pop-ups are spy-ware downloaders.

Yes - I believe these are served by the web statistics site we use - They were taken over near the beginning of the year and their new owner is more ad-focussed .

I don't believe Cantr makes any income from these sites and I've made a recommendation that we move to a different web stats service.

I will let people know what the final outcome is .

If it's of any interest:

I tried this out a while ago, just out of interest - the only red link cantr.net gets is the webstats4u link:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/webstats4u.com
Which 'made unauthorized changes to our test PC'.
