The hell?

[govtcheeze]

Self-ownage is the ubah. Pretty funny when read in order...and keeping it here in case this Eshry jackhole decides to edit his posts.

There was a single instance of a drive-by download attempt. That Whenusearch crap. I know exactly what's on my computer at all times, my friend, it was not on my end.

uhh, scan my computer, eh? Well, first of all, I use Ad-Aware and Hijackthis regularly, just in case, even though I do nothing that will get my computer infected. Second, I have a firewall up. Third, I keep windows patched. Fourth, where I work, I deal with adware daily. I've had to kill some rather complex things, including a virus that Norton, AVG, etc. wouldn't even see. So, don't tell me it's on my side, ok?

Uh-huh. www.google.com will infect me, eh? At the most, there are a few cookies that'd be downloaded. Whoopty do! Who cares about cookies? I have cookies disabled. So what? They're not going to be causing the pop-ups, I will tell you that. I know what is on my computer, and I know what I saw.

Do I have an adware problem? No

Do I need help with this non-existant adware problem? no

Does Eqemulator.net use ads? Yes, banner ads via javascript. The particular one in question also tried to install an activex plugin hosted by WhenUsearch.

I recently wiped the computer, and reinstalled Windows on it, and the banner (which was only showing up on this forum, mind you) went away. It was some stupid advertisement (always the same ad) for some restaraunt. I am not the only person that uses this computer, and one of the people like to goto pogo and other such ad-supported sites all the time...

GC, preserver of the self-ownage.
