need advice about internet browser please!

[Guest]

since we've established the biggest group of board members are the IT specialists can i get some advice please?

 

 

 

every time i open a new link a dialog box appears asking me to log into the www.eroticcash.com website

 

i've never knowingly been to this website and very rarely visit pornsites so i don't know where i picked this crap up from

 

 

 

i've run virus check and run adaware on my computer both of which have not showed anything untoward on my computer

 

 

 

i've emailed tech support at the eroticcash website but no response -its bloody annoying having this box appear every time i cllick a link

 

 

 

also run both AOL (my ISP provider as i have a good deal with them) but use microsoft IE6 as my browser - I've been finding that about 30% of the times i want to jump to a website i am being redirected to a completely different one which varies all the time - it seems to take me to random websites that i've been visiting over the past day or 2

 

 

 

any suggestions please?

 

 

 

cheers

"but use microsoft IE6 "

 

 

 

see if you can get rid of the new MS IE 6 BS & revert to IE 5.5.

 

 

 

I was scheduled to have a cable modem installed at my home ( 19.95 per month for 6 months :-o), they wanted to put IE 6 on my home computer.. I sent them on thier way.

 

 

 

try netscape?

the only programmes running were thos relating to my open internet browser windows

 

 

 

but the erotic cash pop-ups seem to have stopped for now!

 

 

 

if they come back i'll try the control-alt-del thing again and post back

 

 

 

thanks for the help

 

 

 

any idea why 30% of the time i seem to get taken to the wrong link with IE6 - a month ago it worked fine and would always take me to the right site

 

 

 

also with AOL browser it used to work all the time but now approx 5% of the time it takes me to the wrong link?

If the problem continue...Tools-Internet Options--click on delete files,delete history,look there if your home page was became different(if yes change it back).

 

After that ,go to Programs in Internet Options,and click on Resset Web Settings...

 

I hope it'll work,cause like u say this sucker's not sitting in regestry,so just options of Explorer.

Hi!

 

 

 

Perhaps you should try Nescape (very unstable, at least on a NT) or Opera (much more stable) which will let you decide if it may open detached popups or not.

Your on page A, you see a link to page B, you click it and end up at site C.?

 

 

 

60% of the time if i'm on A and press B i successfully get B

 

 

 

15% i get no webpage ('this page is unavailable'), 15% of the time i get C instead of A, and another 5% i get D instead of A

 

5% of the times i get E instead of A

 

 

 

C is a site i used to use as my homepage (www.annova.com)

 

D is a site i occasionally visit for free downloads (www.cnet.com)

 

E seems to be a random site each time (non-porn) which i've never visited

 

 

 

this is a new problem over the past 1 or 2 months mainly when i use IE6 (but IE6 used to work perfectly well 3 months ago) but occasionally when i use AOL6 on my computer too

 

 

 

btw - the eroticcash problem seems to have gone completely thank god
