My access to the AMPS website seems to have been hijacked by something called "webhost4life". I have been unable to get to AMPS for days. The site says that the site am trying to reach no longer exists and the troubleshooting option just tries to sell me services. Any advice.

Sounds like you've got a virus! Run your anti-virus software's scanner on its "full sweep" mode (or whatever they call it - many offer a "selected sweep" mode that does NOT look everywhere) and see if that helps. If not, do a search for a piece of software called "Malewarebytes" and get a copy - it finds and kills loads of nasties! Pay careful attention to the instructions and read some of the forums about it first because it can be difficult to outfox some of the meaner viruses.

Good luck!
