The mortgage thing is doing the rounds on some other forums at the moment. I guess you're using Windows as it doesn't seem to effect others. I think you need to turn auto download off or something but I no longer use Windows.

Not had that problem Woody but something similar I suppose! Every time I log into the forum I get pictures of naked ladies performing some very indecent acts. It is really annoying I have logged in 65 times today and there they are getting up to all sorts of things. I will give it another 30 or 40 try's this evening and hopefully by tommorow things will have not changed.

I could be wrong but it sounds to me Woody, like you have some sort of malware infecting your computer. Ad blockers mask the symptoms but anti-malware software cures the cause.

Even with Adblock you should really use Malwarebytes as you can see with my screenshot, and mine is a quite secure system!
