1. DU must have been down a loooooooooooong time...Missed hangin'
with my peeps tonight.

By the way, I'm so pissed. My 'puter's been hijacked by some keylogger or some shit called revenue1.com something or other. I went on some random website (no not porn, y'all), and next thing I know, I'm getting pop-up after pop-up, things are getting added to my desktop...it's pissing me off! My hubby's working on seeing if he can 'scrub' the problem. Word to the wise...be careful when surfing the web!

2. Had that problem a couple of months ago
I downloaded everything I could find to beat all that, adaware, spybot, and a few others and now I am soooooooo clean, no pop ups at all!

3. Did spysweeper a couple of times, a virus scan...nothing's helping.
My hubby did IT for a couple of places, so I'm sure he'll figure it out. It sucks ass big time!

4. Go to hijackthis.com (m)
They have a program that helps ferret out where the BHO or malware is hiding. If you aren't puter savvy about what is a suspicious program on the list it pulls up, if you can get to http://forums.net-integration.net/index.php?s=1bb99794c0b4fc754975134a5ee89c77&showforum=32 they are great at helping get rid of malware (I am allowed to post computer-help sites here aren't I? I had to find this site when my hubby got malware from H### and needed help getting rid of it and in his case, yes, it was from a porn site).

Don't click yes to DirectX updates when surfing - - if the page loads incorrectly then you can click yes next time - - but that is how a lot of crap is floating around these days.

(back to lurking)

5. Thanks flying_monkeys (and welcome to DU). I think he may have gone
to that site, but I forwarded the info. to him. I appreciate your help.

:)
