Fanfiction.net pop up problems

I rarely use FF.net but someone recommended a story called "By the Water of Babylon". It's supposed to be a spin from the actual book written by Stephen Vincent but with a QAF twist. I just started reading it, but now when I go to the chapter I'm immediately transfered to a stupid page that's adverticing food! Usually I just refresh my screen and it goes away, but no luck with that this time.

Even when I go directly to the main FF.net page, I'm still moved towards some adverticement and even if I click to go back, it doesn't work. Am I right in assuming that there's some sort of problem with their pop ups? I mean, how are we supposed to read anything if every two seconds the page is being refreshed with another pop up....

Anyways, does anyone know where I can find this story? I don't remember the author, and I was just in chapter 1 to be honest, but the whole idea of the story caught my attention, so now I would like to read it.

Thanks,

Silvia ~

Edit: Plenty of suggestions on how to solve this problem can be found in the comments. Thanks everyone :D!!!!!!!!

It's also possible that it's malware on your computer, and you should do a virus scan or do a scan with Spybot Search & Destroy. It's free software, so it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!
