Default Problems with this site - Tech problems

Ever since I got rid of a "fake ad" virus a few days ago, this site keeps subscribing me to every thread. My mailbox stays full.

I went to my profile and set it to not subscibe me, then the next morning I am subscribed to all threads again.

What's the fix?

Did you try deleting the browsing history? Or try restoring your computer to an earlier date.

I know its a serious matter, but has to be wtf funny to open your mail and have 500 or so emails from this place.

It disabled my firewall and wouldn't let malwarebytes run either. So I went on my other puter and loaded malwarebytes to a memory stick, then booted my infected computer to the safe mode. Malwarebytes ran fine in safe mode and cleared 5 Trojans from the same virus.
Then after rebooting I had to go to "add/remove" programs and get rid of the Spy Cleaner crap that the Fake Ad virus installed.

All is fine now, except for the pesky problem with the subscribed threads.
I suspect that cleaning some cookies will clear this problem. Waiting for my headache to subside and will try that.
