Getting screwy popup

[Sukhoi]

I'm pretty sure this is from here as I only have ATOT, ICQ, and AIM running right now. Anyway I'm getting a popop that's alerting Zone Alarm, and changing my default homepage for IE...

Don't use a browser that lets you get so easily owned. http://www.mozilla.org <- built in popup blocking, much less likely to get your settings changed.

That is incredibly helpful insight. Are you related to NuclearFusion?

If you use a product that gets you wierd behavior, stop using it. Deal with the fact that there are evil advertisers out there and use something that will protect you. Whining to one admin about an evil popup won't fix them all.

Who said he was trying to fix all the popups? He was notifying the admins that there is a popup that could fubar the average users system on the forums, something the admins might not have been aware about.

Exactly.

I'll run SpyBot again this weekend, but I don't believe I've installed anything since I ran it last.

We arent running any popup banners. I dont think that banner you are getting is from the Ads on AnandTech.

Hmm, I wonder what it was from. I stopped getting them a few minutes after I posted the original message.
