Site down ?

[Zapf]

I kept getting this crap redirect thing to yupsearch.com searching for casinos. Bloody pissed me off cause the last site that did this was 4 months ago and I still can't get onto it. Still have this green bar thing across the top of the page that stays there as I scroll. kinda has me worried.

sounds like your computer has some trojant or pest on it...

Is possible but be damned if I know how to fix it. And all these pop ups keep coming up while I'm typing.

You need Adaware and Spybot. Download them from Here and here

Install, and run. They are like virus checkers, get rid of the popups and spyware.

Both free for personal use. Run regularly because spyware sneaks in even in "normal" browsing

Doubtful as iirc one of Cno6's comps is a sexy mac.

Just remember your Spanky and mine is still on holiday, so don't be flooding his inbox, k.

Sounds like it maybe a bug server side. But you'd only expect those to surface after a vB software upgrade. Think Riff was having a similar problem for a while, so maybe SM did do some patching or playing in vB before he went on holiday.

Have spybot already and I'm not sure it works cause I can run it within a minute of the last time and the same stuff is still on there. I did just get the new imunization upgrade for it tonight so that mught help a bit. Will get the other one now.

dude, yupsearch is spyware. I had that problem. I also had double underline links on alot of random words

you need adaware SE which is free from the site. or any other good adaware proggy but old adaware doesnt pick it up I think

It died on me about 8.30 this morning. Came up again about 20 minutes ago.

No great loss, as the site hasn't let me start any new threads since we moved to the new server.

I've been having the same problem since it came back up today (and, come to think of it, from time to time before). Try to put up a new thread... it goes slow... then either gives me a "page cannot be found" screen, or simply whites out, depending on which computer I'm using.

Then, when I try to re-post, I'm told I posted the message within the last five minutes. Which I did, but it wasn't accepted...

Since the server came back to life;

(a) I don't get any mew messages from threads I suscribed to appearing in my "In Box" as I use to.

I cannot read reps. or start of threads by hovering the cursor under them as I use to. (i.e. I have to click on the start of a new thread to see what it's about - but then of course I have to click on the 'return' (the left arrow at the top of the screen) to get back out of it.

Apart from the site going down, I never have any problems. Is it dial-up that is a problem?

Nothing to do with dial-up with me. Got broadband at home and at work (we're on some monumental gigabit drive thing) and I'm having the same problems at both places.

its choice eh!
I had to do it to my bro's pc which had 912 malicious files not including cookies. spyware, adware, malware, dialers, the whole shebang. it works soo much better after. and some java websites that wernt working are again and its faster and BOOOM

pyrocam has just exploded due to his uncontrolable caffinated excitment

[Waylander]

Had some 1200 not including cookies on this thing. No wonder it was so screwed.

My personal combination is Spyboy & Microsoft Anti Spyware. Others I know prefer Spybot & Adaware incombination (one tool rarely removes everything on a well infested machine). I've just never been a great fan of Ad-Aware since they went all corporate.
