Does anyone have any problem when clicking on the huge logo at the top of the page DVXuser.com?

When I click on THAT specific link it defaults to some weird search engine ad page. Anyone?

Looks like you have some nasty spyware/adware leeching on your machine, my friend ;)
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Yes I do and I cant ****ing find it. I got a brand new computer and already found one that I got rid of called "INternet Optimizer" which was conveniently renamed WSEN UPDATE. I found it removed it and all is good....

BUt......

THere is another one (ADWARE) that I cant locate. THese damn companies that do this dont realize the pain in the ass they cause. What makes them think IM going to use thier GHETTO ASS search engine that takes me to SALES stuff and not INFO.

Sigh...

Alright, tks. Ill find it.

Hmm, I think we now know what gets John steamed ;)
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Yes. The adware people are fun. What cracks me up are the companies that are signed up with these guys. Like major companies. Man o man.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

I use adaware every day and I still get the "The page cannot be found." sign??

Oh well.

Yeah . . . why would virus/adware creators trifle with 10% of the market . . . ::)

Yep, and why would a pistol get designed to penetrate a tank!!!
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

McAfee's anti-spyware runs in real time. If a spyware program is trying to load on your computer it will stop it before it installs. It's kind of cool.

Ain't so good for a rendering machine, though.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

sptbot search and destroy gets things ad-aware misses. I highly recommend it. download it, update it, run it. just watch out for the advanced mode. You can mess up your computer if you dont know what you're doing (but it creates backups). It also has an option to run something to watch what gets downloaded and installed on-the-fly (TeaTimer).
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Im doing Ad-Aware right now.

Symantec removed a boat oad of them but requires me to do MANUAL removal in the reigstry which is always fun. Lets hope this AD AWARE can do that better!

And regarding the PC/MAC debate - Who cares.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Rocketscience is right though. You should run Spybot on your machine. It's been shown to be more powerful than Ad-aware.
