Right now it's a huge question too.. ::whatgives::

Yeah, I'm trying to fix it. If I right-click on it the image opens in a new window.
Funny, it showed up in the preview.

Some websites prevent hotlinking because it steals their bandwidth. Try uploading it to photobucket and reposting it.

Right now it's showing up, and it works for me if I right-click.

OK, now it's not showing up.

That was a lot of effort for something that was only moderately funny.

Yep. Worth it ;-)
Last week I got one of those scareware fake virus-scanner bugs. Had a devil of a time getting rid of it. And here I am right back on the same interwebby that infected me! ::gaah::

And now it's showing up again in my first post, but I'll bet it won't after I refresh.
ETA: I was right. ::bashing::

When posting a utube it always shows up in the "preview" after posting only the link shows up.

Soup, my faster, better computer is currently in the hands of my very capable brother, charged with the responsibility of cleaning the freeakin hard drive from the crap associated with "Windows XP Security System 2011."
Those bastards. I tried to clean my system the first time the ad popped up. (Only $59 for a year subscription for the answer to the problem that they caused) Spybot cleaned it once and said "XP Security 2011 is a fraud."
Those bastards. Well, it came back with a vengeance, and locked up my hard drive.
Bastards bastards bastards.

I'm sooo lucky blessed. I hadn't heard of that type of scam until asked to assist a friend with a problem.
Not a week later was I ALERT! ALERT! ALERTED! by something that said it was AVG and I was being invaded CLICK HERE TO SAVE YOURSELF by eight malwares!
Something didn't seem right about it so I > CTRL ALT DELETE then I shut it down, turned off the modem, booted up, and ran AVG. The machine was clean.
When you get an invitation any click could trigger the action. CTRL ALT DELETE and shutting down avoids that.
Hope you brother is successful.

I usually have a good nose for suspicious e-mails. I've gotten a couple purporting to be from Comcast that say that my computer may be infected with a "bot". They look perfectly legitimate. I got one a couple of months ago and I ended up deleting it without taking any action. I just got another one today.

I'm up to three of them now. Got seriously tired of fixing the wife's PC problems so I bought her one for her birthday. No more bitching about ANYTHING. Best grand I ever spent.

Trap, you might have missed this thread (http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php/topic,1289.0.html) where I discussed the death of my G5 and the purchase of my brand spankin' new Mac Pro.

I guess I did miss that thread.
So...you did what? Accidentally installed malware?

No, I don't think so. Where did you get that from?

Honestly, that's what led me to

Still, just too many nastys come through banner ads, which is where I always used to get them

Okay, I guess I have no idea what's going on. Nevermind.

It's all explained there. Apparently it was a solder issue with the motherboard, not an infestation of any kind.

It happened just now, at Google images. That place is a rat hole of viruses and scams.
Clicked an image and a red screen comes up MOZILLA HAS FOUND...! CLICK HERE! I did so and as it was "scanning"
I reconsidered it the same scam under the guise of Mozilla and cut it off. AVG has scanned over 1,000,000 objects and so far I'm clean.
and no it wasn't porn, I was looking for a fairy gif for another comment ::speechless::
ETA: Scan complete, 0 problems.
note: Whether it appears as a new page or a pop up it looks very legitimate.

Rule of thumb, never click anything in a window that pops up without you initiating the popup. Browsers block most of the conventional methods of unwanted popups, but new ones are always being devised. Same goes for email attachments. I've had to clean up several iterations of the "XP Security" malware on my users' machines over the past few weeks. Some people will open up anything. It's like Dracula, you have to invite him in, but once you do you're in trouble.

I've been experiencing dynamic popups on the left side of the screen - the advertisment variety - and when you scroll the screen, they stay in place. It looks like the web pages that I'm browsing is doing it, but i can't find a way to make them stop. Any ideas out there?

You could try Ad Block if you're using Firefox. There are similar plug-ins for other browsers.

I'm using IE9, and not really sure what it is, since this is something new that I'm seeing. :(

Another rule of thumb...be careful when entering a search parameter for "fairy"!
