I understand why we have it. I know why the mods and admins do not want it removed (though I feel it should be at this point, the hack was in 2015, it's been a long time since.)
What I don't understand is the random pages opening when I click login. Very virus-y looking webpages, some with popups that I cannot click out of unless I completely close my browser through task manager. My computer doesn't have a virus or any malware, and I'd like to keep it that way; I've heard from someone that these pages popping up means the "protection/page is working" but I really doubt it. Again, just a rumor, and even with hearing it I still am lost as to why this happens. A friend of mine who even got FH recently hasn't wanted to get back on due to the popup webpages, since she thinks it will harm her computer, and I really don't blame her.
Now, yes; I do close these tabs before they get a chance to load, most of the time. Again, a few times when I didn't do it in time, I had to close out my browser and I had a hard time doing so.
Does anybody else have this problem, or even know why it happens?
