T O P I C R E V I E WAmi AnneIs Firefox being weird to anyone? On my website, on certain words like register or agree, it takes you to ads that I know nothing about. Also, I can't get on FB or Google with Firefox.Also, I noticed on here, too, that certain words will take you to adds. I did not notice this yesterday.------------------Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/Ami AnneYes, like see the word "register" is underlined and takes you to an ad. I have that on my website, too.This is kind of creepy. Is Google Firefox being intrusive into our lives *sigh*------------------Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/RandallI don't like Firefox for LL, because it doesn't format the site properly. IE works perfectly. But I use it sometimes. What you are describing sounds like a virus.------------------"Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca ClarkRandallI just used Firefox to visit LL. Not getting the same thing you are. Register goes to the registration page. ------------------"Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca ClarkAmi AnneYes, RandallI just called the computer store and she is helping me. Thanks!------------------Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/RandallThat's a really weird virus (if that's what it is). Never heard of one changing links like that!------------------"Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca ClarkAmi AnneYou know what happened? The Babylon tool bar downloaded, itself. I had it there but didn't notice it. Yesterday, I tried to get rid of it and got this. Stay away from the Babylon toolbar Want to hear something interesting? There is a small computer shop down the street which made my computer. They have an option where I can let them remote control it and they did that and fixed it. It took all morning, though.Anyway, that is what happened.------------------Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/PixieJaneI've heard of viruses and other malware that "hijacks" your browser and takes you to other pages for varying reasons (for example, every time your IP address reaches their page then whoever infected you gets paid). A similar malware was reported on here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/003543.html VenusDiSiriusPhishing is tricky too,never re-ttype your username/password outside the site's areas for signing in/up no matter how sound the pop up message sounds Ami Anne quote:Originally posted by VenusDiSirius:Phishing is tricky too,never re-ttype your username/password outside the site's areas for signing in/up no matter how sound the pop up message sounds How does this work? And thanks!------------------Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/VenusDiSiriusYou are already logged in,but suddenly there is a pop up window telling you to log again for your own safety. (note that trusted sites like Amazon or Google often verify your action by re-signing,but this is different ) Or the sign in area is different in appearance,without the site changing the overall design,etc.Firefox is a good browser,Chrome too,but I was told that passwords can be easily cracked if using Chrome,especially when it comes to blogs or social networks.edit- The best way is to block pop-up windows in the settings,and to check regularly for the security updates.
