Pop Up Adds?!!, WTF?...
 
I'm getting/ have got popup adds on this site!, is this just me, have I picked up some strange Trojan program?, or is it the site?, anyone else had this happen?.

How do I get rid?:shrug: ...

Thanx!...

I'd say you've got some funny trojan. Check your task manager to see whats running. Or go to msconfig to remove them from startup

No pop ups for me...

Might be one of the sponsor sites maybe...especially if you're running IE :)

Joe 11-03-2002 01:20 PM

there are absolutely NO popups and never will be pop ups on procooling.

I use IE, and I don't have the problem.

Were you able to find anything funny running on your PC? Do you have any weird plugins installed for your browser? I'm out of suggestions otherwise. (for now...)

also, what is the crap in the Pop Up...and can you screen shot it before you get the impluse to close it.

Go there, download Ad-Aware, remove spyware from computer.

Kay!, it's some program that installed itself, but I don't know where from! cause I had only just connected(dial up) to the internet and ProCooling is my HomePage.
It's called GAIN, something to do with Gator(were'nt they like KaZaA?) could'nt remove it from the 'Add~Remove programs' in Control Panell, had to delete the folders and stuff(whohoo!, another trip to the Registry!!:p )...

That's why I thought it so strange, I'd only just bootet & connected though?, any ideas how they got to me?, anyone heard of them before?...

Thanx peeple!...
PPS, how do you get the persons name to apear in quotes?...

PPPS!!, I was having strange troubles with ProCooling bandwidthwise yesterday?, it was OK on other sites but screens were taking 5x +! to load yesterday :shrug: ...

I was doing quite a bit of work on the site yesterday, there were a handful of Apache resets by me while doing some of the config changes.

Looking at MRTG we didnt have a slow down in bandwidth at all you were prolly just trying to look at the site durring apache reloads :)

Yeah, crap like Comet Cursor and Bonzi Buddy will install themselves if you visit a site with IE that has them. I hate it, you hit cancel and it still installs it. Reason #124 I don't like IE.

MadDogMe 11-05-2002 03:11 AM

How do you do that?!, get 'originaly posted by Blah, Blah' in the quote box?...
