We Are Being Haunted

Still having weird computer problems. Still cannot view my blog to see any comments. I can't get to Yahoo either. Hubby has done all he knows to do. He's reinstalled our internet browser, deleted all unnecessary files, and has run virus scans galore. It's still screwed up. We do have connection to the internet (which means I can still work), but it starts screwing up when you are trying to actually navigate the internet.

Speaking of the internet, I don't think I've shared what happened to us with Internet Explorer several months ago long before I started this blog. And if I have shared this story, my apologies, but I am going to share it again because it is relevant to the here and now.

One day everything was fine. Pull up a page and see ads for normal things like credit card companies, clothing stores, weight loss drugs, matchmaking services, etc. The next day everything was not fine. I see the most raunchy ads on my screen. I ignored them at first, although it really bothered me, I thought it was a one-time thing. Then it was happening every time on every web site. And they were bad too. Images I definitely did not want to see. And talk about a major trigger for hubby....... he could no longer even catch up on sports news because on the side of the page was an ad for all the *orny women in town waiting to get *aid. They were disgusting, girls kissing each other, and it just got worse.

I was furious. Of course, you know where my mind immediately went. What has hubby been doing on our computer???? He's lying to me again!!!!! Then, I calmed down and realized that was not the reason. I mean, really, he looked at porn for years on this computer and I never once saw a raunchy ad during those years. He stopped looking at porn, and here come the nasty porn-like advertisements. It's like the computer was going into withdrawal....

Well, hubby was freaked out as well, assured me he had not been to any questionable web sites, and I believed him. Called our internet provider and after much run-around, was told that it sounded like our Internet Explorer had been "hijacked." What? That's crazy. But that's what they said. So they told us to block Explorer with our firewall and use Firefox for our browser because it was much more stable.

We did that and everything had been fine. Until yesterday. An ad popped up. An ad I would hope to never see again. "Jessica Alba Unleashed." You can imagine the picture. Or not.

What the heck is going on here? I swear we are being haunted. First the hijacking of our internet, then the Playboy card in the mail, and now the internet again?

Please, Lord, make it all go away.
