fucking firefox

[AnarchyX6942 0]

Everytime I google something, I get the results page, but when I click on a link from that, it always takes me to one of those shitty add sites. If you close it and reclick the link, it does it once more and then the third time it will open it. Anyone know wtf is up?

Sounds like spyware. If you can try doing a system restore a point where you know the problem didn't exist. This could solve it if you had installed some program which may be causing the issue. Or try un/reinstalling Firefox. If that doesn't work, then try a series of spyware scans (e.g. Ad-Aware, Hijackthis, Spyware Doctor, etc.). No guarantee as some spyware may be difficult to remove.

Don't Download Porn From Websites.

Use like DC++ or another share program. Like O Rly said, sounds like spyware. Ya might want to get something like Spybot: Search and Destroy. It is a pretty good program for protecting your computer from hijackings.

Here's a list of good Anti-Spyware Programs:

-Spybot: Search and Destroy

-Windows Defender (Residential scanner included)

-Spyware Doctor

-Adaware Personal SE

Here's a list of good Anti-Virus Programs:

-Avast! Antivirus

- AVG Antivirus

-Norton Anti-Virus (somewhat good)

A list of optional programs:

- Microsoft's Rootkit Detector (look on Microsoft's website)

- Process Library (?)

I'll dig up some other ones later.

Shitty.

I have a combo of Spysweeper/Bitdefender 2008. Best shit ever. Especially the Bitdefender, rated #1 anti-virus.

Have you ever tried these out or had a look at the coding? It's one of the best things of the market that are free.

Think before you speak.

Another excellent FREE program. Good for cleaning out junk files, but probably won't do much with spyware problems.

I have Adaware Full Version installed, and a full McAfee Suite Installed, supprised it wasn't caught. And I do get my pron from DC++, we have a network here at Purdue so I can download at full 10mb/s, totally sweet.

Adaware will take care of that.

Rules of DC++:

You never, EVER, speak of DC++! Like this one jackass at my university wanted to know the address to the hub so he emailed the entire school asking for it, including faculty, staff, etc. Long story short, he was never heard from again.... He wasn't killed, just got the hell out of here.

It is perfectly legal as long as you connect to servers in Czechloslovaki or however its spelled. Sweden too. They are countries that wont give your IP to the US government

I mainly say never speak of it because like all file sharing programs it is questionable, especially since the I&IT department try to crack down on file sharing (of course). So people try to keep it on the down-low.

Anyways, any success with the spyware removal Anarchy?

[AnarchyX6942 0]

Naw, Adaware doesn't find anything. Ill prolly get Search and Destroy, but I'm using IE till then...

Doesn't Direct Connect use a local connection over the university network?

I know when I went to college we had it until the RIAA started cracking down. I think they shut it down in 2004 or 2005.

why.. illegal?

There's nothing inherently illegal about sharing files or file sharing programs.
