It’s been 10 hours. No spam comments or whatever that may be since I unchecked ‘allow comments’ and ‘allow pings’ under each post. I can live without comments, trackback and pings.

Under ‘Options’, ‘Discussions’, I unchecked:
1. llow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)
2. Allow people to post comments on the article

Didn’t work. I still get spam comments.

I went back to that page and noticed this caption:
Usual settings for an article:
(These settings may be overridden for individual articles.)

Therefore, I went to each of my posts to uncheck ‘allow comments’ and ‘allow pings’.

It’s been 5 hours since I did that. So far, no spam emails. Hope this works.

A few days ago, my site showed a popup ad that was not installed by me. I have no clue as to how it happened. Then my blog started being spammed with comments (casino, hotels, pharmaceuticals…) About 10 a day. Anyone has this happened to their site? Are the two related? Is it a web hosting server problem or my computer? I did virus and antispyware check. Nothing found. I also changed all the passwords. That didn’t help either. I would appreciate any advice.
