Probably posting this in the wrong place, but is anyone else getting a BS security download page when they try to load the active topics page? ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">

BS security download page? There is nothing like that coded within the forum. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

BS as in Bull. It's some company adbertising their wares, with pop-ups every 10 seconds. Norton was supposed to have removed it, but it's still there when I access the active topics page. Someone in my house is going to get gutted for downloading this thing (according to Norton, it's manually downloaded). It's a complete pain in the wotsit. ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">

I tried it, along with spydoctor (which has always worked for me in the past) and Norton (which tells me I'm a year out of subscription despite only having it 3 weeks!). No joy. ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">

Fey, also try 'Spybot S&D' to remove adware/malware & spyware. I use it alongside Adaware, what one misses, the other seems to pick up. http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=2471&file=9&evp=2470f9bfb0cc682334ff8c4459556118 - Spybot S&D download link ------------- |

Spybot did the trick (finally!) Thanks to everybody for their help (aside from those telling me to reformat my drive!! Norton, despite the fact that it tells me that I'm good until September 2007, won't let me update as it says that I'm out of date for subscription since February 2006.

Get rid of any bloatware like Norton &/or McAffee - plenty of free alternatives out there.
