Ever since a couple of days ago, I noticed that The Bench site has been running hot on my laptop. Anyone else seeing the same thing? Other sites I have up, like Beckett, ESPN, Yahoo, etc. are not a problem. I'm running on Google Chrome.

I'm not certain that a website would have any effect on your laptop's overheating, but I'm not a techie. I also have no issues with Te Bench's loading times, either. I dunno.
It's really strange. The site loads fast. There's no lag when I jump from one post to another. But as soon as I load the Bench, the CPU seems to churn harder. I can definitely feel more heat coming from the side vent.

The majority of the computer load during surfing the web would be the memory usage for the browser operation and the network interface. There is little reason that any site in general would cause a CPU load more than any other site. Not saying it isn't possible, but it is very unlikely.
There is malware on this site. That is what is causing what he is experiencing. It is happening to me as well.
We discovered the cause and referenced fixes on the other thread by KCRoyals
I followed the instructions on the other thread. I downloaded and bought the spy ware stuff. It is not on my computer but is on this site. I logged on to different computers and this is the only site this stuff is on. Is there a way to remove it from the bench?
