Malware problem
It has come to my attention that Blogging Pompeii has a malware problem, i.e. annoying adverts start popping up after one views the blog. I have absolutely no idea what to do about this. Scanning my computer has made no difference at all. Can anyone suggest how to get rid of this annoyance? Thank you!
I suspect the problem lies in some of the "add-on" features with the blog, like the stat counter & flag thingy. Sometimes those widgets are really advertising in disguise. I'd suggest removing anything not created by Blogger.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Francesca!
That seems to have done the trick! I'm not getting any weird windows while looking at the blog in either Firefox or Google Chrome.
