Manga Fox issues?

ok, i read a lot of manga at Manga Fox, because it has quite a bit of what i enjoy. however, since i have used the site, without me clicking anything, it will load new, bogus pages. these pages can be anything from driving directions, dating sites, and the worst, an "adult" site. (seriously didn't need to see that stuff when i had just woke up . . . 😛 )
its happened multiple times, so, has anyone else had these kinds of problems? i've got pretty good firewalls and virus blockers, ect., so i'm not sure if its my computer or not.
thanks! 🙂
oh, and sorry if this is somewhere else. if it is, please direct me to it!

Other than the fact that mangafox is very slow...I don't have problems like that. Either your computer has a virus or there are server problems.
Moreover you can just block these disturbing sites with your browser.
If it won't work, there is only one way! You have to format your computer!

it's probably spyware of some sort

i know! i couldn't even find a place to tell them about what was happening. usually it only does it around once, but a few times the bogus pages have loaded again and again and again. . .
it happened to me a couple of times. but considering i had a hella lot of different spywares and stuff on my computer at that time i dont know. might be your computer.

Same here, I had to keep clicking the "x" or "Stop" loading button on my browser just to read manga in peace. I haven't had the porn site pop up (thank god) so I'm using my other sources.

what program do you use to view the manga? i've tried it before, and just now since Faster than a Kiss got a new chapter, but i guess i don't have the proper program, as it won't load.

I just press the back button and go on my merry manga reading way.

all right, just to appease myself of the frustration, and to keep track of this, i am going to record all of the sites that i am taken too.
today (3/3): local pages: bringing your neighborhood to you.
edit: second for (3/3): the ever so wonderful, cash4gold.com.
edit: (3/8) auto insurance from yellow.com
edit: (3/9) IQ test from geniusinspiration.net
edit: (3/11) whitepages.com - perform business searches
yes, i know it is somewhat childish and i wouldn't have this problem if i didn't use that site, ect., ect., ect., but it AMUSES ME! 😀 🙄
i'm so bored. . . . 😀

i get the same thing but whenever i run my spyware/virus scan all that comes up is a bunch of tracking cookies so i dont think it is spyware or a virus
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
