Actually there are two ways that I access SOG, first is the way I described above, second is when I get an e-mail notification from a forum thread that I have subscribed to. In this case I will copy the url and past it into the long AOL window (tech term) at the top and hit "go."

My best guess is that this started about six weeks ago. In this general time frame I have installed the new version of AOL 9.0 (the superbowl ad convinced me). I cannot link this event to any of these woes.

I have installed, and frequently run, Adaware 6.0 which rids my computer of spyware.

I have set in my AOL controls to block all popups. I do not have any independent blocker installed.

I have set my security settings to low, and specified "portraitartist" as an "always allow."

I do from time to time delete my temporary internet files.

I'm not sure if I have the ability to use DOS to trace a path. If I do, I don't know how to use it.

The curious thing to me is that whatever I, AOL, or some hideous hacking monster is doing, it only affects SOG related sites. And it's not just for me but for others as well.
