    Pop ups
    Yesterday my husband tells me that a sex pop up showed up when he was on a racing site. Could this be possible. When I viewed internet history it showed an actual porn site. Is he telling the truth or just busted?

    Yes it is possible, more possible than you might guess... so stop this paranoia before it negatively affects the marriage.

    But he's an adult... and if he did its his right as an adult.

    It's possible he has malware installed, or the racing site itself has been comprised to throw pop-ups.

    Install, update and run the free version of this utility: Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer

    Delete anything it finds.

    Another piece of advice is to stop using Internet Explorer, it is the biggest conduit for malware. Use Chrome or Firefox instead.

    NeedKarma gave good advice on a product to use... I also can not stress highly enough the importance of anti-mal ware, anti-spyware and andtivirus software. And keep whichever product you choose up to date.
