Yeah, I get the occasional spyware install from Ridemonkey too.. I know it's from Ridemonkey, because it's the only website I visit at work. I've got Ad Aware, and use it regularly.Skookum said:
Can't use FireFox at work.
A little more info as far as what spyware, etc would probably be useful in correcting the situation.
Ya see all those cheesy ads running here!!! There ya go. It's everywhere now... you can't avoid it if you are on the net. It should be illegal 
No Me gusta los Wareos de los Spyos.
On that line, I was running Firefox for a while. I tried to install a "theme" and all of a sudden, Firefox wouldn't load anymore. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No luck. Anyone else had this problem?
Next time I see it happening (I get a popup window that opens for about a quarter second then disappears), I'll run Ad Aware and get you the name of it.Echo said:
I have seen no spyware associated with RM. Running IE6, XP Pro SP2, all current patches, Spybot.

This is the one I get: http://esampler.tns-global.com/eSampler/writetest.html?BBCNews,BBCNewsbinary visions said:
It triggers the pop up blocker.
and if you try to go to the page it says:
I used to have this issue with Tribalfusion here. Not since switching to firefox.
Tribal fusion and e-sampler are the same one's i'm getting ALOT.
We have had a thread about this before. The BBC ads open a little window for a half a second which runs a script that helps them keep some stats on how their ads are doing. It's not spyware. I don't really like it, but it's really no big deal and its harmless. And its the BBC for cripes sakeWumpus said:
i assume it's from the ads and i recieve around 3 on average. i use ad aware too and i couldn't be lazy and copy the info from the report on them, which i was going to do last night. i got errands i gotta run but i will post what i get then do what i can do on my end to eliminate them from my browser, probably just switch to Firefox, my pal keeps on telling me i'm dumb to run explorer anyways and he would know, it's just the principle of the whole deal that's a real bogue. i mean i just want to be lazy and not have to **** with anything y'know?binary visions said:
Can I use firefox with SBC Yahoo DSL. IE6 is intergrated into the DSL program.
You don't need to install their program to connect to the internet.dhtahoe said:
I tried to install it the other day to see if it would help any and it wouldn't connect up, but it did hijack ie6. Good thing I don't use ie6 for anything except the moto trails game. I use mozilla, opera, and myie2.

Yes, you can just select to install the connect program.

So beside giving you something to click to connect does it do anything else worthwhile?

Nope, but I can't connect any of the sales guys' laptops at home without it.
