Ads

[Caddie Gone Mad]

One of the ads on the forums keeps changing my homepage every now and then. Before it was just some stupid ad with pop ups, but it just tried to put a trojan on my computer.

If possible, please do something...

What the..... I have not even been running any pop-ups in the forum for the last month. Has anyone else seen this?

Besides the banner, I haven't really seen any ads.

Maybe you have some kind of spyware in your computer, I often get pop-up ads when there shouldn't be any.

Its that love test one. Every now and then a window will pop up really quick and then go away, and I have a different home page.

I know its these forums because its always after I'm on them.

?? I have not seen that at all with that ad. I even tested it out with my firewall to see if there was anything fishy going one. If anyone else has had this happen, please let me know. I did take the ads down temporarily while I am investigating this.

Download SpyBot its a free software that gets rid of all the spyware crap on your computer. Also you can get pest patrol but you have to pay for it. Though you can get it to scan your computer for free.

I had this problem where the thing kept on changing my home page to some crappy search engines and preventing me from using google. Spybot removed the plugins that was causing it, yay!

I doubt it would be cyberfret causing the problems but you could try some pop-up stopping software to make sure e.g get the trial version of PopNot
