Popups at DMusic. You heard it folks.

BlackMage	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 10:11 AM Am I the only one who gets pop ups here? Always goes to a frigging crummy search engine with a search field saying "viagra online" or something. God damn it!!!
zedsalt	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 10:33 AM I get banner advertising which, as I understand, I could avoid by subscribing. I don't get anything setting off my pop-up blocker, though. Y'know, there are a number of freeware pop-up blockers available online. You might try tucows.com.
BlackMage	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 10:54 AM Mozilla should block those already, but it doesn't... and now I got 2 of those of bastards at once.
gothian	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 11:34 AM Try Firefox Santa
BlackMage	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 2:14 PM I already have Firefox. Okay. It seems that I get pop ups from any site which has these banners for those places like "Valueclick" or "Adecn"... I scanned for spyware and it didn't help. Stupide shite...
imemine	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 2:27 PM Just become a subscriber. It's a great value considering all you get here. I think any way, It's like around $50us when you buy the whole year. ---and---no banners!!! Everythings moves much faster. Just my !
povertystricken	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 3:08 PM you might be the only one that gets pop-ups here. If you're using Firefox, the pop-up blocker must be off. Tools - Options - Web Features, check the block box. However, I've never seen my browsers (firefox or IE6) report blocking anything from this site. good luck
shadowself	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 4:16 PM It actually sounds like you might have spyware. Might be a good idea to grab a copy of Ad-Aware and do a scan of your computer!
povertystricken	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 5:39 PM Spybot-Search and Destroy is another good free program. http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html
BlackMage	Date: December 23, 2004 @ 9:02 AM this fucking page. Thanks for the help, but no luck." id="122444">As I already said "I scanned for spyware and it didn't help." And yes, I did it with Ad-Aware. And Spybot sucks. It couldn't find spyware even if it came around and bit it in the ass (I know this from my own experience and from tests) And becoming a subscriber is out of the question. I'm minor. No credit card. Not living in the US of A. And I already have pop up blocker on. It blocks everything else except ;ord=5642874629573785000?&u_tmzone=-2&u_platform=Win32&u_language=en-US&u_browsertype=Netscape&u_browserver=5.0&crc=1978602698">this">http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N1684.Experclick/B1450466.2;sz=300x250;kw=[keyword];ord=5642874629573785000?&u_tmzone=-2&u_platform=Win32&u_language=en-US&u_browsertype=Netscape&u_browserver=5.0&crc=1978602698">this fucking page.

Thaspian	Date: December 23, 2004 @ 8:26 PM You probably have some form of spyware/adware, or you're clicking an ad. I use firefox and I've never had these problems. I instruct firefox to block the GIFs of the banners so I don't have to see them.
mtekk	Date: December 23, 2004 @ 10:51 PM I use FF and i don't have any of the problems that you say you're having, you arn't running KaZaA? are you? Ad-watch is blocking the add images for me
pog	Date: December 23, 2004 @ 11:53 PM Like I said before, if you're running firefox, and you have done spyware scans, then it's most likely an installed spyware, and has nothing to do with DMusic. As I suggested before, look in your add-remove programs for any toolbars, and uninstall them. Next, download hijackthis 1.99 from here http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html post your log file, and I'll have a look to see if I can find the malicious entry.
pog	Date: December 23, 2004 @ 11:59 PM btw .... popupad.net appears to be a company that pays webmasters for every time a popup occurs, usually linked from their own page.... It looks to me like someone has made a hybrid exploit that is merged with doubleclick to create a popup that makes them money every time you surf ANY page.
BlackMage	Date: December 24, 2004 @ 7:27 AM Ah, fuck it, my whole browser went dead anyway on my lappy so I'll just format it... Thanks for the help anyway and merry christmas!
