Who hijacked my Web page?

We had this happen on numerous computers in the Garden last week, but only
with Firefox (not Chrome or IE). Very difficult to remove. I believe much
of the problem resides with the Addon 'Shockwave Flash' (Flash is
notoriously bad in this way). I first had to use CCleaner (freeware
http://download.cnet.com/CCleaner/…) and then
disable to Addon. You may also have to clean up with programs like Spybot
and Mawarebyte (both freeware).

Authoring, hosting, browser. I bet it's your Web hosting.

I don't see the links when I visit the web site, so my guess would be
some sort of browser plug in - often useful free software brings with it
undesirable commercial addons unless you're careful to untick the
relevant boxes.

Browsers usually have a section that lets you control what plugins are
loaded.
