Pics?

boman47k

I asked this in the diy forum, but I need to know if I am the only one having suggestive pics and ads in the margin and on top of the screen.

What do you mean?
Maybe you can take a "print screen" shot and point out what you're speaking of..

You must not have them on your screen. Heheh, not messing with them here for fear of dl'ing kiddie **** or something. I will attempt to stop them here though. I was told it is happening a lot around here. Maybe a regional thing.

Maybe a browser thing ....what browser are you using? (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Moziila?)

Explorer. Try setting contents ratings, but can get anything with it enabled.

I do not believe this website is set-up that way.
I think your browser may have been "hijacked".

Found the solution, I think. Son who just recently split the sheets with his last wife has been "shopping" on Yahoo and no telling where else. Right now I have popups blocked from Yahoo.

"Shopping" wow is that what they call it now. Guys I know just call it scoping out the free ****. Delete your cookies in your history and add a spyware killing program such as adaware and you should be good to go.

You could also go to your internet options and enable the prompt for third-party cookies.. ITS AWESOME!!

Why do that? IE has a great White List and Black List setting. No prompts ever needed.

Here're the settings:

Adaware and Spybot usually come up clean if IE6& IE7 controls are set correctly. I usually find 1 or no items every week.
How can a "cookie manager" beat IE6's controls? If you use iespyad, spysites, and SpywareBlaster, they load almost 7K of restricted cookies into the block list.
I have 1st. and 3rd. party cookies blocked 24/7, always allow session cookies checked,( session cookie has to be checked to work with edit features), and under edit button,( "sites" with SP2) I only have 7 ( I think) sites on the allow list which will act like a firewall "pass list". If I don't delete cookies for a year, and look in cookie folder, I never find more than the 7, and that's only if I visit all 7 sites during the year.
Set Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, Advanced, Block 1st. and 3rd. Party cookies; Check "Always allow session cookies", hit OK. THEN Click EDIT,(or SITES) in SP2, Type in or paste paypal.com for instance, Click allow. Check OK as you close each menu. After a year of surfing, that's the only cookie to be found in that folder.
YOU WILL KNOW WHEN A SITE YOU NEED WON'T WORK AND CAN ADD THAT SITE AT THAT TIME IF IT'S NECESSARY.
One Caveat; Excite sets a tracking cookie, and after every update of SpyWareBlaster, I have to locate it at bottom of list, and right click, select Ignore list and addd it to the ignore list, or uncheck excite, pick Remove Protection.
PS: Now clear all cookies for a fresh start. Clear temp files regularly.
SpywareBlaster preloads your "White List" with thousands of Bad sites on the Block List in Internet Explorer.
A sidebar: Get Camtech2000's free version of Spysites. It not only loads restricted sites into Internet Explorers " Restricted Zone , but it tells you what each site puts on your computer. Read their " worst offender" list. Some "cookies" have java script viruses. Get updates through it's help menu.

Be sure to download CCLeaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ and run it every day!

If you use AOL browser, you have to open IE window to set the controls.

I find it's easier to use multiple browsers...none of which are Microsuck products.
