cookie or malware

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

I am writing this from my phone because all of the browsers I have on my computer are acting up. There may be a cookie that is being installed from the forum called Srv123.com that will redirect you to updating some other add on to your computer. My advice is not to do any updates and simply close the tab or the page. I'm still doing some research and wonder if anyone else is seeing some irregularities.

are you on windows? I have given up on windows about 1yr ago, and install 'crunchbang' a debian linux system....its the best and easy to use.

 

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

Yep. Windows.

 

[tuttle]

just get out while you can....

I haven't experienced it and I'm on two windows devices.

Mark, I just got home and tried a different laptop and I'm not seeing the problem, hope it is isolated. I run AV software and Spybot search and destroy so I'm surprised. Hope it is just my problem. The laptop with the problem runs windows 8.1, this one is Windows 7. That may be something.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Keep us posted if you do see an issue. Thanks for mentioning it!

FWIW...I'm not having any problems with windows 7 or 8.1.

No problem with Mac either.
