Re: Hmm
 

It's the adverts. With Ziff Davis out of the picture now, FileFront can't use the old advertising agency, so they've had to find a new service.

I'd say it's teething troubles, but it's actually that the new ad service is complete and utter shite.

Re: Hmm
 

Sounds like you got infected. Blast that out of your computer before you end up like me.

avast! - Download antivirus software for spyware and virus protection

Also, use FireFox with the Adblock and Noscript plugins and that will not happen any more. :cool:

Re: Hmm
 

I'm using the very latest Norton 360, FireFox with AdBlock and Noscript plugins, yet last night my computer came up with about 40 trojans and infections trying to load themselves on one after the other after being on here.
Norton managed to stop them getting on and removed them, but they didn't stop coming back on until i shut down and booted up again.

Re: Hmm
 

I believe that would be part of the trouble. I've heard horrible things about 360.

Re: Hmm
 

Well I'm planning on rebuilding entirely tomorrow - you recommend that other program mentioned above?

Re: Hmm
 

I would highly recommend Avast. It's the best antivirus protection I've ever seen, paid programs included.

If you're a real security buff, you can even go as far as to get one of these firewalls on top of that:

Free Firewall Antivirus Software Download by Comodo (Asks you everything about EVERYTHING on your computer)

ZoneAlarm by Check Point - Award winning PC Protection, Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Identity Protection, and much more.

I remember Kouen saying at one point that ZoneAlarm is over protective...Comodo's even more so. But it puts you in the driver's seat where you belong, so it's a nice program for me.

Re: Hmm
 

Malwarebytes.org - One of the three programs that helped me get my computer back on its feet just recently. It has a very good reputation.

A guide and tutorial on using ComboFix - A heavy-duty, autonomous removal program that almost guarantees successful removal of all the infected files it finds. It can take a little while to run, but usually no more than half an hour at a time.

Trend Micro HijackThis - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com - Scans your computer for infected files and generates a logfile that you can share with knowledgeable folks. Also, through the logfile you should be able to use the program to delete the less stubborn infections on your computer. Includes lots of other handy features, too.

Re: Hmm
 

I've seen MalwareBytes go to work, too...it isn't a resident scanner, though, is it?

Re: Hmm
 

Technically, neither is Avast. :p
