How come there are continous random pop-ups that appear everytime I try to access the argonath website or forums? Typically, there's this annoying vegus32 pop-up which appears everytime I access the forums. My firewall keeps spamming me with "you have opened a dangerous website" everytime those wierld pop-ups appear. Do any of you guys see any of these wierld things? If they still come up tommorow, maybe I bring up some screenshots on those wierld pop-ups?

Nope, not a single pop-up...

No, becouse i got firefox. But with IE i got some popups when entering.

You should not get any popups or messages. If you do check:
- does it happen on other sites/forums as well ?
- do you get it by entering the site or by entering the forum ?
- please give the URL of the popus.
If they are cause by anything on the site we will kill it.

Yep, just tested it in Internet Explorer 7, I got:

After an 2nd time entering, strange enough I did not recived it.
I am normal using firefox.
EDIT: After some google, I saw this also contents spyware in the cookies.

Download an anti-spyware progam, http://www.hitmanpro.nl/hitmanpro/index.php?lang=en for example.

You got spyware and adware, like me :neutral: (Removed not very long ago)
Listen to Marc, he has the right solution.
Can't help more, sorry. Maybe I can...
If you can't remove these annoying things, use Firefox, it doesn't show up these.

Download Ccleaner , and rune the clean process and maybe the reigstry check , it usually helps about the most. :rules:

That's exactly what I was getting. It happens everytime I press the forum button, like just now.
I already got that Ccleaner. It's what my Software design teacher from school introduced, and said it stands for Crap Cleaner as in removes all the crap from your computer.

If your using firefox, install the Adblock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865) addon.

Is it possible come from the advertise thingy on the right top side of this forum? it comes from adserver.com

I use to have this problem with IE. I used Ad-Aware and the problem was solved. If you want better safety with Firefox, get No-Script as that blocks all potential dangerous scripts from running (you can select the trusted scripts to run)
