This site appears almost every day as a pop-up that
recurs every 5 seconds while running IE with XP Home
My only option is to shut down and reboot
Who is this ?
To whom do I protest ?
Adelphia merely answers they are not internally
responsible for creating this problem

Thanx

Can you describe this a bit more fully? If you've got a firewall
functioning, perhaps your browser has been hijacked?

if the firewall suggestion doesn't work, it sounds awfully
virus-like. download (you'll probably have to buy) a virus
scanner, and download all of the windows updates as well.
