I was shocked when he handed back my iPad and there was a naughty website on the screen. We were very concerned that something terrible had happened, and I'm glad to hear you've got the problem resolved for now.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-79348115318950119812013-03-24T10:58:33.963-07:002013-03-24T10:58:33.963-07:00I hope this helps.

In Manage Add-Ons, I found some add-ons I did not authorize that looked like adware (coupon was in the names). They did not allow me to disable them but I found them in Add/Remove programs and uninstalled them. The problem went away. Once I had noted the issue in the blog, I noticed that it happened on other web pages I visited.<br /><br />I believe they got into my system because I downloaded a GEDCOM Validator, which downloaded via CNET.com. I saw information on this program in a blog posting. I would imagine that this problem may affect other genealogists. I posted a warning in the Technology for Genealogists group on FB.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064329229537398807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-76595021419774380352013-03-24T10:47:20.941-07:002013-03-24T10:47:20.941-07:00Hope we don't lose access to your lovely blog ...Hope we don't lose access to your lovely blog posts.
