Premium Members Mikko Wilson Posted July 14, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I just noticed that I started getting a pop-up/under while on this forum today. Seems to come up every 2 minutes or so. :angry: I closed my other browser windows and it continued, so I think it's Steadicamforum - though with computers nowadays I of course can't be 100% sure. :huh: I use IE 6 and have the Google Toolbar/pop-up blocker. Anyone else notice anything? EDIT: I'm sure it's not intentional if there is something, but I wonder if someone has figured a way to deliver them through google ads for exmple? - Mikko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Afton Grant Posted July 14, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hey Mikko, Sounds like you've come down with some spyware, malware, adware, whateverware. I've had this happen to me a few times in the past. The bad software will simply launch its own ads at any time it pleases. Often in these cases, your home page will be overtaken as well. To fix, simply go through whatever regular scanning and removing routine you have. If you need more specific help, feel free to send me an email (aftongrant AT gmail.com). Good luck, Afton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Mikko Wilson Posted July 15, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Ok, found the problem. :) NOT this site (I would have been very supprized if it was). I had a lycos guestbook on my website, and when I went to the admin page, it gave me some wierd pop-thing that stays with the window untill you close it. :angry: I now no longer use Lycos. - Mikko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Bryan Fowler Posted July 19, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 how great would it be if this forum allowed AVATARS! :) Yeah! if it did, I'd put my logo over on the left, and after a few seconds, I'd have it pick my nose....all sneaky like. so people would assume I'm a professional, but yet fun! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
