Wtf happened to Erowid?

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

I haven't been on erowid.com for a few months, i just went on and it's all changed (that's cool i like the new look of it). But it made my computer so slow and 31 pop-ups came up, like all the ones titled "you computer may be infected", just all that spyware shit came up, hope it doesn't happen every time i go on there as this computer was fucked up for a good 5 minutes lol.

What browser are you using? I'm not having any problems with slowness or pop-ups on Firefox.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

BT Internet Explorer i have. Always works fine, but the pages on erowid were loading really slowly and it was making my computer freeze, but it's fine now i'm on here, like the pages are loading instantly as they always do. Oh well i know all the info on stuff i need to know about so it's not much of a loss, but i'll try again later and tell you if it's any better :D

I'm using Internet Explorer, I didn't get any pop-ups. So I doubt it's the browser.

[ermitonto]

Perhaps you have spyware, then. That is often the cause of mysterious pop-ups. Run Ad-Aware (www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and see if it turns up anything.

haha NTL: sucks

I Luv Firefox. Especially the feature where you can create permanent tabs. I set mine to my Yahoo DSL page, Google, Dictionary .com, my schools website, and of course Cannibis.com. Itâ??s like have having 5 homepages all at the same time. I just toggle back a forth between them. For anyone who doesnâ??t use it, I highly recommend it.

OT but seems like a good time to ask: When changing over to firefox from ie does my favorites list get lost or can I import it?

you sure can import it, when you're installing it'll ask if you want to import everything from IE or start fresh.

Cheers people, and i think i do have spyware, my dad got something to get rid of it, Webroot Spy Sweeper is always on and alerts me when anything bad gets found lol, but i never delete them as it takes like half an hour and the computer goes really slow while it's working its magic. In fact when i go off here later i'll delete all the shit and just leave the computer to get on with it lol

cool, then today is the day. No more putting it off. Goodbye billieboy and your spying on me and constant security issues!.

I was able to easily dispose of IE but its little friend msn explorer is not so eager to die just yet. 13 mb remaining .So short of digging into the depths of the registry etc...do you know of a good removal tool?

[likemclever]

My IE is still on there I just donâ??t use it. I keep it around just in case. Told you that you would like it monkey man.

Takes a little bit to get used to��.but then it blows IE away. (not that it takes much to do that) My fav. Is the tab feature�.

Ur PC totally sucks josh! Let kill it! With an axe and a machine gun! I'll dress as a ninja and you can dress up as the mafia! :D

[FunkyMonkey]

likemclever: the tab feature is worththe change alone, the speed is a sweet bonus ( especially when tweaked a bit), photo zoom,quick link bar,mail, superior google bar, I can go on . Im havin fun exploring it. I wish I had done this long ago.
My advice to anyone with a highspeed connection...CHANGE or at least sample it.
