So now, with a paid subscription, which is supposed to avoid adverts, we are getting them anyway. Underlined blue words leading to an advert? So how long will it take till the entire post of whatever it is, is ALL blue? This creeping commercialism makes me think of one word: CREEPY.

A bit of online searching showed it to be a program somehow sneaking into a computer. A malware thing. I found it in 'add and remove programs' (XP) and was able to remove it. It SEEMS gone now but I see online some people have had problems getting all of its bits and pieces out.

Sorry Russ, I thought this was a deal you made for more advertising bucks.

Dude, what kind of stuff are you downloading? It seems you are always infected with something. 😛

It's a bit of a stretch to think that a 70 year old would want the albums of Korn, but OK, if you insist. 😉

Why I worship Korn🙂

BTW, this was on my work comp, I don't visit anything fishy at work. At least you know what you can catch on your computer when I report my crap.

At least this one was good enough that I could kill it with delete programs. So far so good.

I don't think its a huge surprise I run into shyte on my comps, I use 5 of them, one laptop, sometimes use that for recording if I am on the road, then one at work and one PC for my music studio and one strictly for my wife and one family machine which one log in, my son, seems to have some porn on it.
