If someone joins my list without a URL, and I approve them, a porn website appears in their URL section! No matter what I do, it’s still there! What’s going on?
Unfortunately, enough people have had this happen to them that we felt it necessary to add to the FAQ.
This porn links problem is most likely due to some spyware you’ve inadvertently downloaded. There are programs out there that insert porn websites into any URL form field they find, and it doesn’t stop until you get rid of the spyware.
Here are a few good spyware programs to try - each one tends to find different things, and each acts in its own way.
The only thing with Bazooka is that you have to remove the offending spyware manually, but they give thorough instructions and it’s usually quite simple. ![]()
