ISSUE

Postby Jack_The_Ripper » Wed Aug 06, 2008 7:52 pm

I love this site, it it helps me out a lot, but it doesn't love me! Every once and a while when I close my browser while on this site, it locks up and keeps opening more and more windows... They all say the oscar spot on them, but they never load, I get about 70-80 duplicates in about 15 seconds and then I'm frozen. It locks up so badly that I have to crash it. It doesn't always happen. But I'd say it happens 1 out of 10 times. Sometimes I'll even be on a different site, with this site closed, and then you guessed it, all of a sudden the oscar spot pops up 100 times and I have to crash my computer? Did I get some sort of virus from this site? I just really wish I could correct it, as it gets VERY annoying. >:(

Still love this site though, even after all the hell it puts me through. :fro:

I would say it's local on your computer. Like Gerry I use FireFox never had any issues.

could you have picked up a trojan or browser hijacker somewhere ?
i would update your antivirus and anti spyware software and run a system scan

Boy that's really strange. I had some issues a month or so ago with some malware I couldn't get rid of I found this site and one of the members was able to help me straighten out the problem they were very helpful.
