What the hell is going on with all the ads here? I've got keywords highlighted in green that pop up ads when you mouse over them, stuff in the top and sidebars of the screen, popups when loading new pages... all of this since yesterday.

Normally I would think this sort of thing meant I had a virus (and I am scanning for one with everything I have) but other people have been complaining about stuff like this as well over the last few days.

I would be glad to donate if the site needs more money to stay up, but this is absolutely unacceptable.

[Edit: Never mind, it really was a virus.]

Post a source dump of your LW page to pastebin..?

I have nothing like that and my early-warning systems show nothing on LW pages except for viglink and the usual Google Analytics.

Actually, it turned out the problem was on my end. Sorry for the fuss.
