      Question virus! POP up links unsafe!

      Hi folks,

      Don't know what the heck is going on but that **** pop up is trying to mess with my machine....

      I know that it would seem silly to be paranoid about it... after all if you are usinig some of the progs here you are taking a risk....

      I guess I'm just shocked that there is this wanting of a pop up to take some action on my computer.

      Alright said my piece.

      Cool

      Well there is nothing like a Virus , i checked the Referers
      and there is one .exe based File that feeds a counter .
      I guess u are using NAV (which is not my Favorite) but maybe he's complaining bout that file .

      BTW Java and Javascript are executing Scripts :-P ................
      and NAV has a built in Scriptblocker so this one gives maybe false Alarm .
      No Pain

      The PopUps generated by traffichome.com are filled with MANY different sites !
      Some use JavaSkripts, and some use BAD JavaSkripts !
      But don´t worry ! The worst, which could happen, is change of your startpage, nothing more !
      And I work close with the traffichome.com webmaster together, and we try to kick out all those bastards ..
      Some are still in there, but if we found one, he is kicked out !
      Life plays with us, like the wind with the leaf
