I just run into a new problem with powerpint.net. My problem is not 2-click of "Back" button though.

Two things I've noticed:

1). FT has been slowing down my browsing speed since I returned home after Chinese New Year. The significant slowness starts on January 27th. However, the slowness hasn't been consistent. There are good days and there are bad days. I just can't tell the pattern.

2). What just happened to me is simply shocking. I was visiting different fora on multiple tabs and decided to pay TB Topics Forum another visit.
2a). I clicked on TB Topics Forum link from FT fora home page.
2b). I then took a look at another tab.
2c). I refreshed TB Topics Forum when I returned to the TB Forum tab.

Guess where FT took me? Here: http://spi.domainsponsor.com/lander.shtml?powerpint.net

Didn't realize powerpint.net can hijack my browsing page to a total spam site.
