Virus?
Sometimes when I am on a website, let's use this one, for example, and I click on a link, such as "View Questions" or "Your Advice Column," etc, down at the bottom of the window it will say transferring date from hyip.com or obeus.com, websites that have nothing to do with the website I'm on. The link that I click appears right away however, and after its done doing its random website stuff, it will say "Done."
Also, sometimes, all my internet windows will randomly close without warning. But when I do click the Firefox symbol on my desktop, it will ask me if I want to restore my previous session.
What is this and what should I do?
I only use Mozilla Firefox by the way.

The advertising on Advicenators and other sites are not located on advicenators.com. They are located elsewhere, and are loaded into your browser from the main site. Hyip.com is a monitoring service; it allows websites to count how many people are visiting their site. Obeus.com is an ad company.
To help you visualize this, image a conversation between your Browser(Firefox) and Advicenators:
-Browser: Please send me your website.
-Advicenators: Here you go. The text is at advicenators.com/text. There is an image at advicenators.com/image, which you should also load. And please also display the ads located at doubleclick.com/ads and googlesynidation.com/ads, and load my monitoring thing at analytics.google.com/track so I can track you.
Browser:Ok, thanks.
Of course, Advicenators doesn't actually tell your browser which things are ads. Your browser just loads it all.
The other issue is just a crash. Programs occasionally crash(they close without warning) when something goes wrong. If it happens a lot then there could be something wrong with your computer or Firefox, but it's probably not a virus. It's normal for it to happen around every 40 hours or 2 weeks of use, whichever comes first.

I use fire fox and this never happens. I think you have a virus. I would have gotten it by now, so it isn't this site. I might be wrong though, let other answers come before you do anything about it.
