Getting the DEATH pop-up again

Submitted by chimmychonga on
Brian just so you know I keep getting that popup that automatically starts scanning your computer and putting viruses on it.

A. Are you running any malware/anti virus? B. I might suggest a) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and b) SUPER Antispyware Free and perhaps c) Ad Aware C. AVAST is pretty good as a free antivirus solution (there are a lot of +/- to every paid anti-virus solution). You might also switch to Firefox as your browser. If it were me, I'd close out, scan your anti-virus, run two to three malware programs, restart and try browsing with Firefox and see if the problems persist. Good luck.

My copy of Firefox freezes whenever I click on the add-on "options" button. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, kicking this stupid PC, etc... Perhaps my evil overlords at work have something to do with it. I'll blame them.

Picture ads are actually not that annoying - it's the Flash ads the really bother me. Anyone got suggestions on how to block those in FF?

Lets keep the man down because I am not the one who is the guy who knows the pc better than all of the pre-70's and just is an idiot! Take a lesson from us older fans, maybe there are some of us that are just old school. I love the excitement that RR brings to this team and thats why we went to the big house to see my big blue team for the first time in 20 years vrs. ND

It totally screwed my work computer a couple months back.... attacked my network login profile and went crazy. Then I had to fess up to the IT department. Yeah. That was fun.
