[DRB]

I just started getting a ton of pop ups for all sorts of crap here.

 

[DVNT]

Me too. Fun Web Products. Stupid Screen Saver ads won't go away without closing RM.

** they pop up whenever I PM ** :nuts:

 

[profro]

Me too. Whats up?

 

[Atomic Dog]

I'm getting them as well. :angry:

Keep getting this stupid thing also...

-S.S.-

 

[luken8r]

tis true.. firefox pwnz j00 and popups too

 

[llkoolkeg]

What the fvck...I can't lurk anymore for fear of popups and now I can't login either! This $hit keeps trying to dodge adaware and install itself.

 

[DVNT]

this is annoying as hell.
All kinds of sh!t now it's gettin worse.

can't install mozilla at work

 

[BurlyShirley]

I didn't know you felt that way. I would be happy to pay for your lurking time on RM. Give me a minute and I'll remove the ads.


I don't know whats up with those pops. One of the networks is obviously messed up today.

 

[dump]

I just loaded a page that loaded an exe!
thanks to mozilla's popup blocker, I don't have a problem w/ those.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Buaaaaahahahahaha! I haven't seen a single one.........

[Spudzie]

I have never had pop ups on RM.

 

[Rockland]

It may have something to do with the "..grandstreetinteractive.." url.

 

[Ridemonkey]

Can you tell me what page you were on when you got the pop, and what the banner ad is on the page? Thanks.

 

[biggins]

i just got one on this page and dont see a banner at all. i x'd it out and it it sent an error saying i have to click yes, i clicked no and it threw up another error. gotten that one about 5 times today.

 

[biggins]

wow vi just got slammed again with popular screensavers and fun web products, bout 5 of em right after i posted that last reply

 

[berkshire_rider]

Keep getting this stupid thing also..

Looks like the Gator / Gain crap again. If anyone had this POS do a drive-by download, you'll need

this.

 

[douglas]

no pop ups for me



edit - damn I jinxed myself

 

[Wingnut]

I got one going into the lounge. Google toolbar blocked it though.

 

[llkoolkeg]

Hahaha...could you cover my beers for this evening, also, while you're feeling so generous.

Yeah, I just got two dialog boxes asking if I wanted to install crap from Gain and also from someplace called Media Motor.

FYI - this is the first time I've gotten popups on Ridemonkey.

 

[Ridemonkey]

Well this sucks. I'll try to get to the bottom of it.

 

[JRB]

Well this sucks. I'll try to get to the bottom of it.

Thanks - I have only gotten that thing twice, but it would likely run for someone on IE with out protection of some sort. That is the one thing that sucks about the Internet.

 

[SuzyCreamcheese]

I'm getting them as well. :angry:

Keep getting this stupid thing also...

I got this one the other day, too. It downloads spyware. The IT guy came over and cleaned off over 200 files, some of which were data miners. I'd suggest you all take a look at you hard drives.

I identified the publisher and contacted them. They say one of their third party publishers has slipped this crap in and they are trying to locate the offender. These spyware companies must present themselves as legitimate businesses, set up legit ads and then do a switch later on when they think nobody will notice. Low. :eviltongu

 

[biggins]

whats the best free spyware program to run. im using windows ME with internet explorer and a cable modem. i will be upgrading to XP pro this weekend though.

 

[DRB]

..... and they are trying to locate the offender. :eviltongu

And hopefully beat them.

I feel so violated after reading this.

adaware 6.XX

www.lavasoft.de if memory serves me right


since i installed Firefox.... i got a 99% decrease in the number of spyware stuff that adaware detects....

Ad-aware along with Spy-bot. If your running IE, the Google toolbar is helpful at blocking unwanted pop-ups. On a side note: I found RM to be alot slower on my machine with fire-fox...

 

[math2014]

i too noticed that some sites go slower sometimes with FF, and faster with IE5.5 , some others the other way around....
