Title: Advertising ...
Post by: Sheepy on April 10, 2004, 05:50:06 pm

I dont know when it happened, but it appears that we have random pop up advertising here, it didnt bother me at first, cause it was once every so often.
But just now i was bombarded with a ****load of pron sites, everytime i canceled one anouther 2 poped up, a lil suprising to say the least.

Anywho, whats the deal?

I get no pop ups at all when I am on here.  That's strange.

Run Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware.

If you're using NT it might be using the messaging system to send you the popups.

NT Messenging Service popups cannot trigger other popups when you close them. This guy has some sort of malware.

It should be pointed out that if you got a pr0n worm, you might not have had to install anything.
