Every time I navigate to another page on this site, I get another page opened either prompting me to download a JAVA program (tells me I need to install Java, it doesn't look legit) or a flight simulator program and sometimes the online MechWarrior. I have ran Norton several times but it doesn't find anything or if it dos it gets rid of it but wen I go back into this site, it comes up again.
I have to assume its not this site (hopefully) but I don't know what else to do. Anybody else have this problem or is it just me?

You might want to check with the Hardware/Software Forum, their pretty good at this. It's not the site, it's you. And that is malware....or a virus. Have you tried Malwarebytes? It's free. Malwarebytes Oops, Andy beat me to it. Yes, I run it every day before I shut down for the night. I put a link here, some of the links online are bad. Make sure it's malwarebytes.org and get the free 'trial' version. If you can't download it, or it doesn't install, your in deep trouble AFAIK. Give it a try, soon

No issues here. Haven't installed any toolbars have you? Go update Java directly on your own: https://www.java.com/en/download/**Be sure to UNCHECK the offers for AV software or toolbars. The "usual" tools for cleaning/scanning/removal of anything malicious, best run in safe mode: Malwarebytes (free) http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/CCleaner, but be careful if using the registry cleaner and use the backup option: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?upgradeAgain, UNCHECK the toolbar option.

Trend Micro also has a free online AV called house call that works pretty good, especially for the price.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
