Pop ups and Spyware
« on: December 03, 2004, 20:45:39 »
Suddenly today my Spybot is reporting Mediaplex on the forums and stopping it, my pop up stopper then goes bong because of something else.  Not that I'm paranoid, but are we being watched?????

I'm looking into this... but I can assure you that there is nothing installed on the forums or server to enable this.

I'll report back when I know more.

No I don't have the ebay toolbar.  However I have cracked it.

I had previously been browsing Auto trader and it seems to leave something lurking around.  I had the same problem today after I was on Autotrader and then went to a Subaru forum.  Must be some kinda cookie from Autotrader,,, deleting cookies makes it go away.
