Thread: Beware of browser being redirected.

  1. #31
    Regarding the advertising angle, I'm using Firefox with a variety of ad-blocking add-ons:

    AdBlock Plus
    FirefoxAdKiller
    Updated Ad Blocker for Firefox 11+

    So far, I haven't had any problem with any browser hijacking. Might just be a coincidence, though.

    My Hijackthis log was clean. A couple of missing files with regard to a couple of executables but I did that on purpose, I think.

    I should have broken the links so someone didn't accidentally click on one.

    Oh,, I clicked on them deliberately.
    It looks like scamware to me.

    A quick search for Merrystorm6 didn't yield much but an Asian porn site.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    I use Firefox and Avast and when I come to RPF, I get this warning:




  13. Remove this section of ads by registering.

    I get the same warning too but it only happens when I use firefox browser. I am yet to get it while I am on internet explorer.
