    Hi, I am not sure if this should go into the security forum or here but here is my problem...

    This morning as I was checking my blog I noticed a pay-pop-up ad appear on my page. I do not use pay pop up, I don't even have an account with them. How can this be? Has my blog been hacked?

    Also, in the status bar I see content loading from sites that I have never even heard of.

    Here is a link to my blog: http://moneyblvd.com

    Please take a look at it and give me some advice. :confused:

    Hi,

    I don't see anything like that, (I use FF2.x).
    and there does not seem to be any code in your page that would indicate problems.

    I would look at your comments to see of someone did not add some JavaScript, (I looked but could not see anything).
    Scan your computer for malware.
    Look at the adverts on your site, maybe they load popups from time to time.
    I only recognized Adsense, I don't know the others, so maybe they pass some popups from time to time.

    i was right...i removed the code for the free ad network and walla, no more popups.

    heres the site i was using: http://www.adgridwork.com/

    either the owners of the site are up to no good or someone found a flaw in which they can place popups in the ads they want to appear on other pages.
