I am being harassed by pop-up ads. Im at my wits end. They pop up - they pop down - they pop over - they pop under- they pop in- they pop out. Yep- they pop pop pop all about. Constantly. Thats bad enough but now porn sites are popping up and some trap me and the only way out is to turn off computer by holding button down. Computer totally corrupted. Was told something wrong with hard-drive. New laptop next wk. Am gonna burn this one!!! But what I wanna ask is how do I know if any of my posts were deleted? Last night I posted and saw them but today they are gone. Mine are'nt the only ones. Some others are gone too. The comments were not in anyway controversial. This is probably ridiculous but could spyware somehow be involved?

Hi Kiki, Sorry to read that you are in computer h@ll. Been there- actually- still there- my tormentors just use different techniques now that they have taken over my computer.
My adventure started with pop ups also- (2002/2003) coming at a rate so fast- it was impossible to delete them. I'd let them stack up (as you would notepads) to 20 or so and then delete the stack. By that time another stack of 20 or more was ready to delete.
Traced many of the IP's. I know the source/s. It is interesting.
The mountains of spam helped me trace (IPs) and match them to the senders (of many of the pop ups).
I would have themes going on. Some days- it was Poker popups and other game type links- other days, it was life insurance and funeral homes, still other days it was error fixer links- IOW- links to fix your computer. 100's of them.
I found a Keylogger (circa 2003) that matched an old board (IP) where I had posted. Related, as you may have guessed. Same with various spams.
Some days, I would attempt to get online- and a message box came up- stating that someone else was using my computer. The group had signed themselves on as a user. I was in second place- as far as using my machine.
Too weird!
Yesterday, I got home and turned on the machine- the error message was something about - a cord unplugged. Nothing changed from the night before when I used the machine with no problem.
They just like to mess with you and vary the techniques.
I have to wonder if they have connections with the phone company, Google, servers or all of the above.
In any case, you must be rubbing someone the wrong way with some truth.
My advise is to use library computers for posting. Safer. Unless you want to replace the new laptop.
Jill

jjill-- this kinda off topic but the point about rubbing someone the wrong way is a thought thats been consuming me. I need a reality check cause I'm fully aware that I am paranoid. Ya know the "gut feeling" you get when something just doesnt seem right? Well something doesnt feel right about the riding accident my Dr daughter had. Most incriminating is that it was NOT an "accident". A strap was CUT. When I heard that I called Dr office. I was hysterical-really. I must have scared nurse because that night my Dr called me (not a common thing) I was convinced it had to with some posts(that never posted). Sydney asked what lab, etc and I thought I sent her pm but it isnt in my outbox. She jokingly said Youre the sanest patient I have so buck up and re-grip. She said there were 2 other riders tack tampered with. But everytime I think about it my tummy clenches up and I just get a very bad sense of "wrong" Gosh I sound nuts dont I? But darn it, my intuition has always turned out to be right. Something else she said makes me wonder. Whn I told her about posts she said I wouldnt worry about that b/c it will probably be the internet that solves this and the CDC is at least smart enough to know that with some careful wording they can add some worthless twist and claim credit for cure. Maybe I should post this in general but dont have the energy to do it. Am I just hyper-paranoid?
