YOUR UGLYHEDGEHOG WEB SITE IS PUTTING OUT MALWARE
AND VIRUSES.
Any time I open this site I'm constantly fighting the popup's and unwanted background audio. All of my anti-virus and anti-malware software repeatedly flag this site as a malicious attack site.
Anybody else ????

Yes. I switched to Google Chrome browser and this fixed quite a few of them. Recently I downloaded Adblock Plus and it has rid UHH of all the crap that they allow.

The forum will be shut down for maintenance for about 20 minutes at 2 AM eastern time (Mar 19).

UPDATE: maintenance took longer than expected (as usual). As a result, today's digest has been delayed by about 35 minutes. Aside from that, everything should be working now.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Buen trabajo, gracias= good job, thanks

Now to fix the "mobile" issues, but all-in-all...a great job, website et al.

Probably not even close to true. I used to have malware problems with symptoms like you describe. Finally found out that I had on-board malware (infected from I don't know where) that, when connected to the internet, will try to connect websites of it's choice. I run Norton and a couple of other antivirus programs, but it got by them all. When you connect to the internet, the malware connects to click-through websites and puts a couple of cents in their pocket every time it connects.

The only effective solution I've found (other than messing with my registry files, which I DON'T want to do) is a program called Malwarebytes. It blocks outgoing connection attempts and I haven't had any more problems. $25 one time fee good for life with free updates.
