What the hell happened to the site?

[The Kraken Wakes]

I replaced the blades pop-up with the Streamlinenet status update. I'm not making it up!

I believe you! Thanks for doing that, I think Chrome may have been at fault for me as the blades pop up only appears once in a while...

I coped quite well this time round...

get something like the google tool-bar or an anti-spyware thing with a pop-blocker in.

i already have these and have never had a problem until Blades.
Bloody Blades, bloody convention figs, bloody SAF, grumble, grumble (just jokin)
every time i reload a page the financial times bloke pops up and starts talking, doin me 'ed in

It may be a pop under my googletoolbar only blocked pop ups and then these things called pop unders started to appear and now I have them blocked on google too.

Sounds like you all need to install Spyware, Ad-Aware and Spyware Blaster and run a set of scans! They're all free and, in my opinion, essential.

Be sure to check for updates before runnning any scans.

Quickie, what are you gibbering about? I got your PM.

Ich danke Gott. But my browser says it's in the Outbox ...

Nice tip on the Javacool / PC Tools stuff, the free stuff is great and the paid stuff is excellent value for money.

[The Baron]

PM's stay in the outbox until the recipient has read it.

we've got Norton on ours seems to do the job providing you run scans once in a while, it also blocks all pop ups which is useful.

[The Baron]

As far as I know Norton just provides an anti-virus and firewall. These programs are specifically for spyware.

Spybot and Ad-Aware both essentially look for the same things, but invariably each one finds something that the other misses. Both contain an active shield and registry checker. Spyware Blaster is just an internet shield.

I run all three along with my Comodo AV and firewall.

um, there's a load of pictures missing from the prototypes page...

losts of red Xs and they lead to pop-up windows with nothing in...

[Lady Jaye]

Did your mum install parental control software by any chance?

[The Baron]

Whoops, my bad. Fixed.
