Spyware on this site?

[irfman]

Is it me or do people get spyware from visiting this site... i mean some of those ads on the main page might be the issue i don't know. Just wondering... and YES I do have a Firewall, Ad-Aware SE, Antivirus. Just wondering.

If you're getting pop ups or whatever while browsing R-E, I'm pretty certain it's not from this site. Something has probably already installed itself on your computer. That'll teach you not to download porn over P2P, eh? :D

But I can't really help other than to tell you to use Ad Aware, Spybot etc.

[irfman]

It only this site when I go on it I get a pop up... other sites dont do that. I used Ad Aware and still the same. Im using firefox btw... I think i might just change my internet security.

Maybe R-E just uses pop-up ads these days? In which case just tell FireFox to block them. But you should probably PM an admin/staff member, they'll know more than me.

We use pop up ads sometimes, just get a good web browser or a pop up blocker.

However, there is no spyware on our site at all.

Yeah, I get an occasional pop-up on RE too; always the same one too about idiotic emoticons. And I think I do have a pop-up blocker, so I'm not sure why it even shows up. Meh.
Don't think there's spyware though.

[mike-zim]

yeah i get the icon pop up i dont think it has anything to do with spyware

I only get a pop up while visiting the news on this site, and thats because i thurned off pop-ups protection, while trying to get adjust some setting, but normally i don't get any pop ups any were.

I usually get a pop under while visiting the main site... Damn kerio run out of trial days so the ads aren't blocked anymore...

[Charlie]

Use Firefox or Opera and it will be able to block them.

I'm using mozilla at the moment. Can't be arsed to switch over to another browser... But I so rarely visit the site so it's not that big of a problem.
