Anyone else getting porn pops on here. Had one earlier when editing a thread. Warning message with something like "opps we've screwed up." The you get a series of readers wives porn pop ups.
Is this a new section on Scoobynet? Maybe it should be?
Its just that I think I`m safe when I`m on here if she comes in.

Ad-aware is THE award winning, multi-trackware detection and removal utility (designed for Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / NT40 / 2000 / XP Home / XP Pro) that will comprehensively scan your memory, registry, hard, removable and optical drives for known Datamining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, Keyloggers, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components.

Nothing to do with Scoobynet I'm afraid :)

Get yourself a copy of 'Adaware and SpyBot

Run both and I bet they will turn up some dodgy spyware or something similar on your PC.

Next question you have to ask yourself is how did it get on there in the first place ;)

Chris

I have no idea how they got there......Honest guvnor.;) I will run these and see how we go.
Anyone catch the MILF ref in American Pie 3????

Good MILF hunting, eh? :D

Chris L:

I posted above your last post with a link.

Ad-aware is good it’s a must have, you all must have a free copy.
You wont believe what some of these sites are up to on your computer and that’s with a fire wall up.
Cookie tracking and Browser Hijacking that changes your home page you all must have seen that going on.


Run the program and report back on here what its detected and killed for you, it will hit at least 10 to 20 infections of some sort

Unsuprisingly 20 plus hits on mine. Used to have this a while ago but started using spy something or other which was a pian in the arse. Adaware is much better now. The strange noise when its finished scanning the pc made me jump out of me skin or was that the Misses coming up the stairs ;)
Nice one cheers Ajax & Chris L

wrxmark:

Told you so, anybody else can beat 20 infection hits :)


[Edited by Ajax - 9/18/2003 10:08:39 PM]

I recently installed adware on my pc and it came up with 160+ the 1st time.

Just done it again now and 106.

Done it quite alot in between those and it comes up with something everytime.

I have received porn pop ups too.


Cheers

Tracey

140 found on mine,

Got a 'Dialer' and 'Alexa'

Probably some boring ones! :)

Just run Spybot after ad-aware another bleedin 10 or so files needed removing/blocking. Jesus they are everywhere.....ha..ha but not now :))

Tracey:
Worley:

These infections are slowing our computers down.

Its like a virus or spam, hope a few more realise what’s slowing their system down.

You don’t have to go any ware daft to get infected

Yes, because I was getting loads and I mean loads of pop up's, not just porn ones, someone suggested I install adware and I couldn't believe it when I 1st ran it.

My pc is really slow at the moment, so something isn't right, when I get time, I will go through everything and see what else is wrong

Cheers

Tracey

wrxmark:
just downloaded Spybot and it found another 20 infections for me

I don't know - you give all this information away for free :) I get charged out at $2000 a day for this stuff!

Ajax - I saw you had posted after my reply went up (only about 3 mins between them) - didn't think it was worth editing.

Chris

Chris L: 3 Min on Scoobynet when I can do 0-60MPH in under five seconds in my scoob

******** A life time M8 ;) **********

Pleased you said about Spybot, that zapped a few more, good tip

Thanks

Stretched the truth a bit, under 6 seconds but who’s counting ;)

So this is what happens when you follow topics with the word 'porn' in them:). Glad I did and followed the advise here. I downloaded the two programmes and Adaware found 219 hits Spybot, another 15. I've been plagued with these flippin pop-ups (although not the porn ones :( for flippin ages. Can't believe how useful this Forum is, I've been on here a few weeks and finding useful info all over the place.

Many Thanks,
I'll be back:)

Gerry

Just used spybot immunize - It seems to have blocked the entire muppet forum :eek:

LOL FB :)

If you want some extra protection, download SpywareBlaster. This program sits in the background and stops most spyware crap from even being loaded. It is not a replacement for SpyBot or Adaware, just another good little program. You'll find if you search through the settings in SpyBot that it actually recommends this program. Very effective and well written. Just run the update program every now and again to get the latest signature files.

Quick link for ad-aware 6.0...

http://download.com.com/3001-2144-10214379.html

Just run it and found 12 :o all gator software!

Funnily enough, most of mine are gator

What is gator?

Isnt it just one of the more "common" spyware programs?

Eugh, Gator and CometCursor are basically Spyware programs (as is KaZaa). They "read" the webpages that you view then display targetted advertising based on what you look at.

Get AdAware, KaZaa Lite (if you must use P2P) and also download the Mozilla browser so you can use the web without pop-ups.

If you really like/need MSIE and can't change to Mozilla, try AvantBrowser. It takes the IE rendering engine and adds some useful features on top, such as pop-up blocking etc.

Thanks

381 using ad-aware ahem :rolleyes:

lol :D
