Hoping that you have been able to solve your issues by now~

Since I installed AdwareCleaner, I've had no problem (knock on wood), so I won't be leaving FC. This program caught the nasty virus 3 times in one week last time I posted! I was so frustrated, I was ready to throw the computer out!

I am glad you issue got solved, honestly I have never have problems with FC, I use it at home and at work, and my work blocks a lot of stuff, never have they blocked FC.  I believe it is something that had been catch from somewhere, I found a website that gave me a lot of virus cleaners that clean my laptop when my daughter download it something.  Just go to yout Control Panel and make sure you uninstall anything that you do not know what it is and you do not want and need.  And get a good cirus cleaner.  Hopefully you stay here FC is the best.

Which browser are you using ... I use Chrome and do not have those issues ... but if I use Internet Explorer I seem to have the ads problem .. could be the browser -- not Fusion Cash

That could be a different issue that you are experiencing. I'm no expert on adware/malware, but it seems to me that if they reside on your hard drive, then you will have problems no matter which browser you're using.  ???

Chrome doesn't actually allow you to download a lot of extra like all the tool bars.  So something may install as a toolbar and effect the other browsers with no issues using Chrome

I know that you can't download toolbars on Chrome, but adware/malware is another matter. Anyone that uses Chrome is not immune to adware/malware because it resides on your hard drive in sometimes hard-to-find places and can sneak its way onto our machines without us knowing it. What dwggs was describing above may just be a matter of having pop ups blocked on one browser, but not the other. In the case of the original poster, they obviously had a malware/adware problem, but didn't specify which browser they were using.

I am going to repeat this again since it's so simple if you are not dead set against technology. Get an 8Gb Thumb Drive from an office supply store and install a free copy of Browser Linux on it. Once you get it running use the Firefox browser that comes with it and all your problems will be GONE! I don't know why people are against trying this, but I have been doing it for years and never had a problem with any spyware or virus. If I want to run Windows, I just stay offline (unless I am positive I know where I am going is safe). Fight it if you like, but it's the simplest answer out there and you only spend five bucks. If it doesn't work, erase the thumb drive and store pictures on it.
I'm going to try this. I have a few extra flash drives hanging around. do you have any problems with any money making sites, or offers, not working in Linux?

Once in a great while you get some program that insists on Windows, but I do a LOT of surfing and fulfilling tasks on Linux, including Fusioncash.

I had that happen after one of the surveys installed shop at home on my browser, see if you have it installed and uninstall it, that caused me nothing but headaches.

I hope your problems have been sorted out because it would be a loss to leave Fusioncash.
