Trojan Alert

[Ergo]

WARNING!

My virus protection alerted against "s e x.exe" that was sneaked into my system on this site.
I used IE at the time being. I have now switched to Firefox.

Stefan, please check your AD suppliers for any suspicious Trojans.....

I had the same experience today, several Ad's tried to install a trojan downloader, antivirus caught it but we should not have to be wary of OU's website do we?

Stefan,

Please investigate your ad suppliers, they are playing dirty. or at least seem to be.

some 1 set up a pole and lets remove the damn adds ....come on stef..F***K the adds

[TheOne]

At home I use firefox with Adsblock, all the crap is removed but at office I got the same problem with IE I got attacked by trojan today to....

Also they are some problem with the size, I am configurated to expand the view. but 50% of the time its not expanded, its frustating, I reload the page sometime 3-4 times to get it right, so many bandwidth lost!

And I get (User 'hartiberlin1' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 100000)) so many time like right now when I want to post.....

  OMG.. You mean people are still using Internet Explorer.. l-o-l  good old internet newbies...lol
  ( no offense for people at work.) Although you should tell your company to use firefox for security.

  USE Mozilla FIREFOX with the plugins: NOscript and adblock.

==============================================================
If you feel firefox seems slow about loading webpages.. then do this tweak here:
It was a must do.... Although the latest firefox download may already have these set.
===============================================================

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to a number like 30.
This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

Want more tweaks: How bout a small registry tweak for faster webpage requesting:
=========================================================================
* If you don't know how to get to the registry, then you probably shouldn't. You've been warned newbies.
* And be sure your changing the correct entries. I will not be held liable for your silly mistakes.
* Create a system restore point if you feel you may make a silly mistake.
*  Or right down the values that your changing.
=========================================================================
Navigate to this registry entry and change the following settings:

For XP & 2K and VISTA
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\ServiceProvider

For 98, 98SE & ME
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP\ServiceProvider

On the right for ALL OS's change these entries: (ALL values are HEXIDECIMAL)

Class - 1
DnsPriority - 1
HostsPriority - 1
LocalPriority - 1
NetbtPriority - 1

MY Default settings for XP Home/ and Vista Home Premium 32bit were: ( In HexDicemal )

Class - 8
DnsPriorty - 7d0
HostPriorty - 1f4
LocalPriority - 1f3
NetbtPriorty - 7d1

You are changing those five to 1. Can't be any simplier than that.
After that, you must re-start your pc for the changes to take effect.

=======================================================================
* Both of those tweaks made my dial-up a heck of a lot better in loading webpages.
   Those two tweaks are the first thing I do on a new pc. Tested on: XP Home and Vista Home Premium 32bit.
  I know my vista was ungodly slow for loading webpages... I even had to take the dial-up modem from my old xp pc.
  The factory modem was just junk..only connecting at 28800bps..lol .while my xp pc factory modem was pretty good.
