    Hi, I found your site looking for iphone and education tips as I am a holder of an iphone and in education! But, alas…if I am in Safari, the moment I get to your site, I am redirected into Pop-up hell. “www.adbaaz.com/?dn=feedbuddy.net&flrdr=yes&nxte=js&pr” is just a sample of the url.

    Someone is taking over your bandwidth without your permission.

    I was only able to access your site through Firefox. With some minor cosmetic errors. :/

    just thought I’d let you know.

    Thanks for the tip amber! I had no idea. I don’t use Safari on a regular basis. I removed the offending code! I am typing this on Safari so hopefully all is well now!
