    Nope. Maybe you need to run a spyware/malware scan. Try this one - works well for me:

    Our IT folks say my computer doesn't have any infections, but I keep getting redirects from google too. I know there's something amiss. Just wanted to make sure I was the only one getting popups and stuff from the fret.

    Hmm. Here is a pop up I just got. I put it in code so nobody would click it.
    Code:

    As do I, although The Fret is one of the sites that I whitelist. I've got Firefox's pop up blocker working. I despise those. Having said that, some sites work around it via Flash, which is where Adblock comes in.
