I need to report that there's an adware virus on Wikifeet. When you've been on it for a just a few secords, another site comes on and replaces it. It says something about "Before you go these may interest you." Not sure if this is just on my computer. Has anyone else experienced this?

None to report on my end, I use Firefox with AdBlock Plus.

I haven't seen it on Wikifeet (have seen it on others) but it's nothing to worry about in a malicious sense as it's a legit popup ad from a company called Earnify that webmaster's use as a way to supplement income (ie: monetize a site). This popup works two ways, it either pops up upon exiting a page, or can be timed to popup after being on a page for a set amount of time, say 20 seconds. Don't worry, it's not installed anything on your machine, but like all popups, it is annoying.

Never seen anything dodgy from Wikifeet. Though I have Ghostery and Adblock among other things on my Firefox.

I've been using WikiFeet for years now and I've never had a problem other than slow loading pictures at times. My web browser has AdBlock installed and that takes care of most the junk online.
