No, you probably have spy/ad-ware. Get Microsoft Antispyware and clean your PC out.

Btw, what do you type in to get to the forums?

What I ment to say is, Microsoft puts spyware to your PC and then you pay them to remove it as well.

I'm pretty sure it's your computer manufacturer that adds the spyware. I know they do at least (HP, Gateway, basically all of them), maybe MS does too. You don't have to pay them to get rid of if though, use Spybot Search and Destroy as well as Ad-Aware. Only 2 (free) programs you need for most spyware.

Same here. These forums as homepage is annoying, because when you open your browser to go to, say www.nike.com, it will go to the forums first (duh :crazy: ) and mark all post read when you write "www.nike.com" and go there.

Not if you don't have the "log in automatically" option checked. My homepage is set to blank.
