I hope this isn't true. I don't like the idea of Sundance allowing spyware on the site. Not only that I don't like the idea of trackers storing data about me regarding illegal drugs.

PharmaCan, can you link that download?
There should NOT be any files with the extension .exe linked on here!!!
It may not even have anything to do with any advertisers- in fact, I expect that the banners are MUCH more closely monitored for viruses than, say, someone's animated avatar... I'm poking around... with my somewhat limited computer literacy... ;p
I just came to look at this thread and had it happen again....Norton tells me it is "taken care of" so I guess it can't be that harsh of a virus or trojan. It DOES keep happening however.
My AVG just "healed" something that was in my explorer/temp file. I normally use Firefox, but I have to open up with explorer because netzero doesn't support firefox. Still. The assholes. It has been said for a long time that netzero is a target, but they still do it. I smell a rat.
Okay, JaggedEdge, Reaper, and Evertking all have animated avs on this thread.
Also, if there's an animated banner ad on when your virus warning goes off, tell which on you are seeing.
Is your Java enabled atm?
Let's keep em coming!!!
The java is enabled....but not running atm as far as I can see....it probably is an ad but I haven't watched closely enough.......I will next time and let you know. I also got two alerts from Microsoft this am....asking to use the active-X control.....I don't know for what. That didn't happen yesterday though, and don't know if it means anything.
if your runnig firefox get the noscript extension installed, it will keep stuff like that from happening.
are any boxes coming up asking you to install anything?? Because it's illegal for an advertising site to put that adware crap on your pc without you agreeing to install something..be careful about clicking advertisements sometimes too..Quote:
