You're kidding. Right? There should be no misdirection in links to any of the flags. It should all stay within AB. Ok, just checked the site. Patti, if you have antispyware such as spybot or ad aware, run it NOW. Also, log off the net and do a virus scan with an up to date definition library. I'm not saying that's definitely a bad site or software, but you have an issue on that machine somewhere for sure. You should not have been directed to that site. Also, make sure you have your privacy setting enabled, such as blocking pop ups etc. This is all better safe than sorry. I'm a little leery of any of those types of software that show up in a pop up or in banner ads or offer free online scans. There's a few out there that while insisting they will remove spyware or fix registries, they actually install spyware. One in particular will actually detect itself when run, which is a bit of a laugh. Stick with reputable software developers that have good reviews from CNET.com. Always a good place for software reviews

pattijo, They are right you should never be taken anywhere when you click on any of those selections to flag a question unless you select duplicate, that's kinda weird. You certainly should'nt have to download anything.
