Update on my go.goadvs.com hijack problem. After thinking I cured it by
reinstalling Chrome, it started again. It also showed up with IE. Since it
happened only with our church website, which I am the webmaster for, I
decided that the website must be at fault.
A bit of sleuthing verified my suspicion. For years I had use sitemeter.com
to give me a hit counter on the home page. Apparently, somewhere along the
way, sitemeter started redirecting some traffic to goadvs.com to show
advertising. Removing sitemeter code from my web homepage stopped the ad
hijacking.
I am providing this update in case others may run into this problem. Do a
Google search on "sitemeter popup" or "sitemeter goadv.com" and you will get
a rather long list of complaints.
