My brother was using the family computer and went to www.yoursportsfan.com. From what he tells me, he was trying to upload a picture onto the website, and now internet pages keep popping up with yoursportsfan.com in the address bar but the actual page says that it can not load. It dosen't matter if you close them, they just come back. I even unpulgged the internet connection, but the pages still come up. I tried to open up an antivirus scanner but nothing would open. Now it is just sitting there, and we can't close any of the open internet pages or do anything else with it.
