I am hoping that you can attribute the "Harry Potter" theme for Firefox on the malicious adware.

I hope.

Maybe he was attempting to <GASP> support pcenginefx.com by clicking on a couple of ads?

It may have been one of the ads on that site (rather than that site itself), as they have a legitimate McAfee Secure certification.  In any case, I've had no such problems with that site.

Don't talk nonsense.  :lol:

I don't have any control over what ads are being displayed by Google, but you'd think that they would be legit  :roll:

Additionally, I REALLY appreciate those of you who do click on the ads - your click directly supports the cost of running the site.  Thank you again!
