Virus?
I logged on to finch forum to day at about 8:50pm, and noticed that some words and phrases appeared like this example When you run your mouse over the word, it comes up as a strange advertisement regarding online games or something along the lines of that. It is very strange, (and annoying ) and I will see if running an antivirus program will solve the problem. Just wondering if enyone else noticed similar problems, because it could also be a site-related issue.

Re: Virus?
Are you still seeing it/them? I think it may be a virus on your computer. Can you run a virus scanner?

Re: Virus?
I already ran an anti-virus on my computer TWICE, and the virus if still here I will try again and hopefully it will go away I think I figured out the cause so that may help!

YAY! 
I have rid my computer of the annoying virus with some help from my techno-savvy dad! I believe that a gaming website that my younger sister went on using my computer caused the virus
