I reckon that means no financial transactions, period.
Which kinda defeats the purpose of the website.
You guys were right. I ran a root kit scan this morning, and found 3 decompression zip files in my puter. I visited the Neatpipes site last Wednesday when I got a 30% off email promo. I purchased a pipe, and got a confirmation that payment was approved and pipe was on the way. Then on Wednesday of this week, I got another email, stating that the 30% off promo would be good again on Wednesday of this week. I figured I would post the link for you guys, in case anyone wanted to take advantage of the discount. I ran a root kit scan on Monday of this week, so the Malware must not have been on the site last week when I made the purchase.
Now my puter won't recognize my flash drive. That will definitely be the last purchase I make from Neatpipes, and certainly the last link I ever provide. I'm going to go ahead and edit the link from the post, and hope that no one else gets an infection.
The site http://www.neatpipes.com contains harmful content, including pages that:

@motie2, thanks for the links. When I have about 5 hours to spare, I am probably going to refresh my Windows 10 operating software.
@motie2, I am still working the bugs out. This is the worst computer issue I have ever dealt with, in 20 years of staring at a computer screen. The amount of time we spend waiting for a computer to perform a task, is certainly approaching the amount of time we spend sleeping.
MACS are superior to Windows machines in every way but two:
1) cost
2) almost everyone else has Windows (but who cares????)
And MAC is indeed a superior system for almost every use.
By the by, eMail advertising from "that site" lit up my defenses like a Christmas tree.
