Virus like program,....

Done[/quote]

Thank you Timothy – I assume you looked into the cause of all this, so did you find out the source of this adware?

Not a problem. But it was indeed madcows thread that triggered the program. I even tried it multiple times. Not trying to pick on madcow or anything.

My thread caused this, total bullshit – I use reblended.com to host my images just like many other people in here.

First you implied it was A5279, now me – Get a life and remove my name from this topic, I have nothing to do with it…

That’s because A5 was the last person to reply to what was your thread. All I did was click on the topic of your thread, and my browser starts freaking out. (tried it a few times just to be sure) Nothing personal man. Just telling you what happened. I’m not implying it was in any way devious or malicious. As to your ‘get a life’ comment, same to ya, pleb. You seem to be implying that I crash my browser for kicks. Oh joy. %|

The thread that caused it btw was ‘three planetary renders’. Yours I believe?

Additionally, to the white horse brigade, repeating a request/post ad nauseum is really not that helpful. If I’m not here, I can’t see it. The angry face is cute. I guess this is supposed to be intimidating. If you have such a bug up your *** why didn’t you send me a PM, genius?

Well, you mentionned autoinstal in your first post. If that doesn’t ring a major bell regarding the security of your browser, than nothing will.

Perhaps they need to be adjusted, however that does not justify the fact that the previous few comments resemble a personal attack. As if I had some dark motive in identifying this rather unusual inconsistency.

Well, maybe it should have been a better idea to point a finger at a sorry excuse for a browser instead of at someone who most likely has nothing to do with that.

Martin

I already specified that I was pointing fingers at noone.

Maybe not directly, but by putting a name in the title of the thread, you were doing it indirectly.

Martin

I concede that. Certainly it was not intended as any kind of accusation. The just of it is, that I was simply trying to be helpful. However, I shall endeavor to be more careful in the future.

Ok, this is getting annoying…

Please explain how three images cause adware to install itself on your computer, because I sure as hell don’t see it…

And you may say that it wasn’t intended as any accusation, but pasting my name over the topic then seeming surprised when I get pissed off is spectacularly stupid, don’t you think?

I don’t think it installed from your thread, and I believe I got it from a download, which I believe I mentioned. I think that something about your thread triggered the program, or it certainly seems to have, though what that would be, I do not know. Once again, m@dcow,…this is NOT,…i repeat NOT an attack on you. I merely mentioned the oddity because it seemed of interest to others. I hope that clears it up. And don’t ask me what it was, because I don’t know any more than you, I know only that something about clicking on your thread (not the images, I never made it that far) caused my browser to react in a very strange way.

Also, if I did sound like I thought it was a virus from your thread, it it simply because I thought it best to ‘post now and ask questions later’. Perhaps a flawed approach, but I hope you can understand the logic in putting it out there post haste.

ok, I understand…

Now lets break out the peace pipe :stuck_out_tongue:

Agreed. (thumbs up)
