Hello lads,

I think I'm kinda f**ked.. Pretty hard in.. Alright, let's skip that part!

Whenever I'm on a website, such as the White Shadows', my browser (Mozilla Firefox) randomly opens other websites, such as Trivian. However, on ARPD site it hasn't happened to me (yet!). I think this is some kind of spyware or whatever; I'm not really into those things.

Now, I've scanned my computer 2 times (and Firefox's map once, sepperately) but it can't find anything. :redface:

Could you guys help me please?!

PS. I also get a commercial banner right on top of the screen. I can't re-call having it, before it started doing weird things.

It's not bad to make a mistake. It's what you do after, that's important.
What is messed up is your perception of IV:MP. Probably because they do not allow guys without balls there.

I'm now trying this :) And it already found 3 infected objects in 1,5 minute :(

EDIT:
While I was trying to uninstall MOHAA(S) I stumbled across LoudMo Ad *something*. Just so happens to be that all the website that open, are "Powered by LoudMo" :D I think I got it :)

Ok.. It found 13 infected objects (including 3 Trojans) and I think it's fixed now :)

Thanks for those who tried to help me :D

I think it is argonath forums because I had similar spyware issues a while back too.
