| My McAfee just popped up and told me I just was infected with two viruses when I clicked on the "Forum" link on the main page. |

The plural of virus is viruses. I don't know about these re-gourds of yours. |

Sorry to say, but Radix is right.
It's Virii.
And it's not just leet speak, it's the proper plural form.
...at least that's what I was always told  .

It's Virii. |
No. The plural of virus is viruses. The 'virii' thing comes from bad latin. 'Virus' is a rare form that doesn't have a plural (either viri or virii, like you would think). So in english, the plural is 'viruses,' and in latin, there is no plural. Look it up.
Edit:
Vic, hide that url with bbcode. It's raping the layout. |

Sorry about that.
Anyway, I got another unblockable ad on this forum. Its one of those things that show a small Pop Overs, which can launch the popup from. Did DDR Freak get popups or something?

If you get popups, please let me know what the ad is for, and the URL. That will help us determine which ones the advertisers need to pull.

Two popups:
First one
This one came up first. Ad saying I won a free iPod and telling me to claim it.
Second one
This one came up after I closed the first one. "Get Your Degree Online" or something to that extent. |

| In a PM, Nightime wrote: | Just FWI; I logged into DDRFreak this morning, and I'm assuming it's the sponsor, since that's the only part of the site that changes and autoruns... the script uses a DOS-based installer called "Regsvr32" to install and run ~7 (!) programs, including something along the lines of "listtree", and some that are 2 letters and 6 digits long.
So if any "new sponsors" were added today, I suggest you or someone knowledgable double-check the scripts or delete them ASAP. If your computer is crawling right now, that's probably why... (Ctrl/Alt/Del) that poopy. It hit me on the first branch-off of the forum (Gameplay/Console/Arcade/etc.).
Thank you for playing!

I did tell him that REGSVR32 is actually a Windows component.

Yes, it was being used to install some programs; the main one being called "Sidefind". I tried to uninstall it this morning, and it destroyed my registry. I spent most of today reinstalling Windows (as even Explorer.exe became uninstalled). Fortunately, it kept most of my file system intact. :whew: Saved most program reinstallations. I just had to restore file associations.  FUUUN. And yeah, it was the main branch of the forum. |

I love using Mozilla. If I see a banner ad or other advertising picture from an ad site, I just right click it and click "block images from this server". Also, Mozilla stops popups on its own. Then, I have another program running called e-dexter, which block further banner ads. I also have Mozilla prompt me before accepting any cookies (I block all cookies unless I need them to log in to something). So overall, I see about 1% of internet advertisements 
Just about the only ads I see are either part of the html of a page, or ads that are flash movies.

That FlashTalk installer popup came back again. 
I didn't see which ad made that happen though. I think it was one of the Flash ads with a fake dialog box. |
