Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted August 10, 2013 got disconnected while typing it out, then lost the message...long story short: tooltips pop up when you hover your cursor over links and such...I'm getting random ads popping up at random when the cursor rests in whatever "just the right spot" is.some ads are article-looking, and some are just a picture.

BaguaKicksAss Posted August 10, 2013 Is it possibly something on your computer? Is anyone else getting this? Which browser are you using? Â In other words I haven't run into anything like that. But I do think one other person has made mention of something similar? (unless that was your report). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leif Posted August 10, 2013 If it's not a virus, could be a browser toolbar - check that you don't have some new toolbars in your browser installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Is it possibly something on your computer? Is anyone else getting this? Which browser are you using?  In other words I haven't run into anything like that. But I do think one other person has made mention of something similar? (unless that was your report).  Yes it was, that was the first time it was blatantly obvious... there were other times before that but I wasn't paying as much attention... it's how I started noticing.   Im using IE, with absolutely no addons... no toolbars or anything.  But if no one else has had this problem, I might have a virus/trogan  Edited August 10, 2013 by Northern Avid Judo Ant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leif Posted August 16, 2013 Did you try the Spybot or AVG as suggested above? Or Malwarebytes free version. It's likely something easily detectable by most antivirus/antimalware programs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Esteam'd Punk Posted August 17, 2013 I use Waterfox (64-bit version of Firefox) but at times I use UltraSurf (a proxy) while DLing stuff and it opens using IE.

Esteam'd Punk Posted August 17, 2013 Does Waterfox have the memory leak problem .... Not that I know of. I use a Toshiba w/ Waterfox and I've never used Firefox with Macbook cause I've heard of one guy's Pro crashed using it. I haven't had any issues with Waterfox except it takes like 2 minutes for it to start up. Firefox opens instantly though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Esteam'd Punk Posted August 17, 2013 2 minutes to load? Huh? Windows doesn't even take that long! Well, it only takes about that much on start up. If I restart it, it loads up just fine. I dislike Windows anyway. It's such a pane. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaguaKicksAss Posted August 17, 2013 Firefox takes a few seconds to load... Â Any reason it's better than firefox? I'm all curious now. Does the overall system run slower or faster? How is it at handling 30 tabs open at once? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
