I clicked on the link and my anti-virus went nuts. Normally it doesn't respond to popups but it immediately told me that OH GOD MALWARE WANTS TO GET INTO MY COMPUTER. I'm glad we switched sites.
its like a error message pop up you get with windows, and no matter what you click on it brings up and internet pop up trying to sell this product
That's a very popular technique that a lot of popups use. It's deceptive and many people who don't know much about computers are fooled. "What? VIRUSES? I NEED PROTECTION." However, popups that slide across the screen on a webpage like the one on the old website DO always have close buttons. It's usually very small, and they may be difficult to find, but if you look closely you'll see a "close" or "x" somewhere, and if you click them the add will indeed close instead of taking you to the site.
Sometimes it will have a red X button that looks like the one on Windows, but isn't really the close button and you need to find the real one. Popups are required by special regulations to have one somewhere.
I also know quite a lot about computers. As a precaution you may want to run TrendMicro (
