Hi everyone. Sorry there have not been some new posts recently because I have been very sick. I am getting better now and will post more soon.
I recently receive this email from Helen who wrote about chinaSMACK in That’s Shanghai last year about the 2009 Best of Shanghai :
Hi Fauna

Something is wrong with Chinasmack. Twice now when I closed my browser Chinasmack would open a bunch of windows one after another. The only way I could get it to stop was unplug my internet connection
This should not happen. Please tell me what page this happens and what kind of advertisement is on those page. I can ask Google or AdBrite to check.
I don’t remember what page I was on the first time
The 2nd time I was on the main page. Don’t remember the ads. All the windows poping up covered up the Chinasmack window
Does this happen on other websites or only chinaSMACK? Maybe you have spyware on your computer?
This has never happened before. Both time it happened while viewing CS. I searched with Spybot but didn’t find anything
Does anyone else have same problem? There is nothing I can do if I do not know what the problem is.
I have had it happen to me, but it was when I linked from Chinasmack to a youku video (the one where two men beat a woman bus driver). I had to shut down my computer to stop it.
Happened again. This was in the address bar of 1 of the pop up windows

When I open this, it is just the home page of the website.
