Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Is anyone having trouble with ? It seems I have to wait until any moving ads stop before asking it to do anything, which is something I didn't have to do before. If no one else is experiencing, perhaps my computer memory is overly full but I don't notice it on other sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi Barb, You might have a " malware " infestation in your computer, as I do. The easy way to check this, is to " Google " anything. Then click on the link line in any Google result. If you find yourself looking at a web page, advertising something close to what you wanted, but not the exact website that you wanted, then your requested click has been re-directed to a different website by " malware " implanted by an advertising agency. Another way to check to see if you have this type of malware in your computer, is to run a " security scan " on your computer, like the ones from symantec or McAfee. If the scan finds, and CAN NOT eliminate or quarantine the " Backdoor Trojan " malware that it finds, then you have no way of getting rid of the malware. All of the companies offering software that promises to do that job, are very suspicious. And I have not yet found a well-known software company that offers any solution. The main problem is that everything slows down, on my computer, and I have to TYPE every Google link line into my address bar, since just clicking on the " link " will not get me to the websites that I want to go to. If anyone has found any software that REALLY does the job of eliminating this malware, please post it on this board. I would be very appreciative of any help. Thanks, Joe .............................................. > > Is anyone having trouble with ?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Joe, use Firefox as a browser rather than IE. Also install the free version of Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm also has a whole Suite of protection stuff, but you have to pay subscription fees every year. Might be worth it though. One excellent way to get rid of malware is to do a " Housecall " at www.trendmicro.com. It takes a long time, but finds things that other programs don't.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Joe, I know how difficult this can be. I had a problem with trojan horses so bad years ago, I had to change IP addresses after cleaning my computer. This time, I am only having trouble with . Particularly mail. When something won't come up, I just click out of where I was and start over but I didn't used to do that. I think it corresponded to their change over to new processing center. --- In , " joseph salowitz " <josephsalowitz@...> wrote: > > Hi Barb, > You might have a " malware " infestation in your computer, as I do.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 , Thanks for the tips. I'm curious about this too. Do you, or does anyone else know if there is a way to asure that you are being directed to an ok web site? Might be a dumb question, but isn't one of the problems with malware that it can direct you to a similar looking website. Always makes me a little cautious when going to download from some site or have a scan done. Many thanks and sorry KC if this is too far off topic. Sam Joe, use Firefox as a browser rather than IE. Also install the free version of Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm also has a whole Suite of protection stuff, but you have to pay subscription fees every year. Might be worth it though.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yes, it is . I moderate a few and we had members complaining of malware. I have from the get go said it was because they were working on something if I remember correctly. > > Joe, I know how difficult this can be.
