An annoying pop

Post by **Thadrin** » Sun Apr 25, 2004 9:29 am

I'm constantly getting a pop up from some Smily server when I reload TBB, asking for a password.

Is anyone else getting this or is there spyware on my machine?

no sorry think you may need to be a virus/spy check.

I ran norton and it came up clean. Running spybot now.

I don't have that popup ... must have been an addbot installed on your system.

Just finished running Spybot and it found two files which I got rid of. I was forced to use IE yesterday (a site I wanted to use only works in IE - IDIOTS) and had to lower the security to allow cookies.

We'll see if it helps. According to the tools my system is now clean, and I totally cleaned out all my cookies and temp files.

In the mean time, i've run an online virus check, and found some different virus in my 'deleted messages' folder (i always got the there even before pre-viewing)

So people, run some http://www.pandasoftware.com online tests ... really useful!

I've had it twice, both times when I went to this thread: viewtopic.php?t=3424&start=0

You are right, i'm prompted with a 'We are moving servers, bear with us' user/password type of window, and it says something like mysmilis.ipbfree.com

Someone attached his avatar to a non-add free online server, and it's trying to open us a smilies window!!

Wondered if it was something like that...

Question is, who's is it?

It's Zy-Nox's avatar which is linked to

http://mysmilies.ipbfree.com/s/contrib/ ... eyKill.gif

Not too hard to spot but I hadn't noticed myself as I use Mozilla Firefox, hope that helps though.

Someone email him and get him to remove it! (Oh, and Avant here.)

I have removed the offending image from his signature.
