ok, sometimes when i go around in this forum, it goes into a different web page...http://www.idlicl.com/random/r1.asp Is it happening to you, or am i going insane, or is it something with the board itself? please help an already troubled mind. and thanks in advance.


Also, how can i get rid of it, if somebody had it happen to you, please tell me how you got rid of it.

whoa hope my dad didn't see that when i clicked the link. he was walking by when i did it! you should warn people if it's something like that!!

anyway. use spybot or ad-aware to see if it's adware. if that's not it then i have no idea.

i've used ad-aware already, but after i used it, it still did the link thing, and i haven't seen if it's a porn site, or not, but if it is, trust me, your dad wouldn't care, as long as you don't put your life to downloading porn...lol


but is it happening to anybody else than me?

Well the only thing that I can say is that it is not the banner lol

Maybe you should try AdAware from www.lavasoft.nu to find out if you catched something bad that hijacks your browser.

Or maybe some popup ad that just redirects you to that page ?

I have. I said in my second post. I don't think it is an ad, because I have an ad blocker. It came with a different program, that i scanned with adaware. it is tweak-xp pro, and i know it doesn't have any ad ware.

It's not happening to me. I don't know if it happens to others but I'm quite sure that you could add that site to your hosts file. It would prevent it from loading.

When I click the link I get a lightning fast pop-up(?) but it doesn't resolve.

Try some sort of pop-up blocker. I am using ZeroPopup 7.78 and it won't let that link function.

That's nasty whatever it is. There's actually two pages that open. One is invisible :blink: and the other is persistent. I think I may have just been hijacked as well.
