Spyware

[qdavid]

I am absolutely sure all this spyware getting on my system comes from this site. I have run checks before and after visiting here, and the spyware shows up after I go here. My Zonealarm also detects attacks daily. It's getting worse too. I can handle maybe one or two pieces, but Saturday my Search and Destroy found 11 separate malware instances. That's just too much. You guys better do something because this will definitely affect membership.

...my guard dogs have never picked up anything bad here....everywhere else ...yes ..but not here...:thumbsup:......

Do you hit a lot of links?

I'm a computer tech, and have several protective programs running at all times ... I have NEVER seen a malware situation on this website (yet) ... when I had Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware, (probably what you are running), I had the settings set for maximum sensitivity, and it resulted in showing me all the harmless cookie attempts, and other subtle processes that are always running in the background ... these are normal running processes that the 'anti-spyware' interpreted as 'possibly' hostile ... check your settings ... but, it is a good thing that you took notice, and offered the warning ... :thumbsup:

I imagine it comes from sketchy thread computers and all the links that are attached from them. For one thing, I guess I'll just never click on a link in a thread. There seem to be more and more of that, I think because it's so easy to attach a link and stoners generally will do whatever is easiest.

Nope it wouldnt come from this site or im sure everyone else would have the same problem. which they dont.

You should download a programme called ad-aware

You probably already have something on your computer and when it comes to this site it activates.

Iv'e got to say that this is one of the safest sites I go on never had a bit of trouble.

That's probably what's going on. At work when we run scans, depending upon what program we use it might show harmless cookies and what not. Usually scanners, when they give you your results, each item will have a different level. Check the security level on each item, do they say low? Cookies will usually come up as low or such. Something like a trojan or backdoor installer you would see with a high rating.

I really don't think it's this site. Links, as mentioned earlier, can take you to shitty sites. Another possibility is you might already have something on your computer that you don't even know is there, like a rootkit. Maybe your computer has been hijacked and someone is using it for something that results in this.

Check your scanner settings, check the security levels of the returned items in the scan, and do extensive malware and virus scanning. It would also really help if you gave us a screenshot of the results or told us what they were returning. Sometimes just running scans won't get rid of the problem, you might need to take some specific tricky steps.

yeah the sites been good to me when it comes to all that

I use Adaware, Search and Destroy and Windows Defender for malware. I use AVG for viruses and Zonealarm for a firewall. I'm sorry if I offended anyone here. I'm just real frustrated. I have a laptop and a desktop. I have the AVG and Search and Destroy scheduled to run every night. I only have a dialup because I live in the sticks and the only high-speed I could get would be satellite, and that's too expensive. Nothing shows up on that desktop, but my laptop shows alot everyday. I have my cookies set to allow first person but block third person. Right now I'm thinking probably it's porn sites like youporn that do that. They're notorious for that.

I took a screenshot of the last scan but it wouldn't upload. I just pasted it into word. Maybe that's not supported. It doesn't really matter. Spybot found 9 instances last night, like Doubleclick and stuff. I also just put this Spyblaster program on my laptop. Maybe that'll do something.

like you, I have also run all those programs ... I presently run AVG anti-virus, Norton Anti-Virus, Webroot Spy Sweeper(the #1 malware utility), and Zone Alarm ... plus, I have a yellow plastic flyswatter within reach for the really tough ones;) ... I have picked up ZERO bugs at cannabis.com ... SUGGESTION: if you can find the name or designation of the suspected 'bug', go to Google, then select their 'Groups' category, and type in the name of the culprit ... you normally will find a group of people that have already solved your problem, just read their posts :thumbsup: ... good luck, hope you track down the buggers ... :smokin:
