Lucius Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) Okay, so you know when you get an email, or a message on MSN etc, and it contains links of various sorts, you just click the links and get redirected... Only my comp suddenly don't do jack **** when I click these links, nada happens. What did I do? <_< Edited January 3, 2006 by Lucius DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
BattleCookiee Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe it is blocked by a pop-up blocker... If you use SP2 you might check if a yellow bar comes up on top saying a pop-up is blocked...
Lucius Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 Nothing comes up, I don't even get a new window when I click a link. It doesn't respond to the click at all. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
LadyCrimson Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 You could try re-installing your browser. Once IE stopped letting me 'view source' of a website...it was exactly like that, where I'd click and it would do nothing at all. I never figured out why...it seemed to happen out of the blue for no reason etc...I just reinstalled IE and it went away. “Things are as they are.

Lucius Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 Hmm okay, might have had something to do with me installing Firefox the other day, I uninstalled it again since it browsed slower than IE. I'll try reinstalling IE DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
Diamond Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Are you all mad?! Installing IE? Install Opera (which is now completely free and no banner) before Microsoft buys it out (rumors). Edited January 4, 2006 by Diamond
Judge Hades Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I also have to suggest Firefox. I have been using Firefox for quite a while now and I have no complaints about it. Far superior to Internet Explorer.
Diamond Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Yup I use Firefox too, but Lucius finds it slower (???) for some reason, hence I suggested Opera which doesn't have all the extensions of Firefox, but really is the fastest browser of the bunch.
LadyCrimson Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Firefox can run slower than IE on some systems, particularly older ones - as always, just depends. I don't use IE for browsing, but I do still use it for other things on occasion. “Things are as they are.

tarna Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Don't click links that you aren't familiar with. http://antivirus.about.com/od/virusdescrip...mfexploit_4.htm http://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic...0997626d0cea18e Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.
Surreptishus Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Firefox 1.5 is a definite improvement over predecessors in terms of browsing and page rendering speed.
Walsingham Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Don't click links that you aren't familiar with. http://antivirus.about.com/od/virusdescrip...mfexploit_4.htm http://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic...0997626d0cea18e <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup.

LadyCrimson Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Don't know about Lucius but that wasn't my problem. Not every weird pc symptom is virus/worm based. That's an interesting bit of information tho...the pages don't really descibe what it does very well (to me), however. Anyway...yeah...the internet is a dangerous place, haha. “Things are as they are.

Lucius Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 I did get struck with a nasty malware infestation and some worms after browising pr0n, but after a minor struggle of about some 4-5 hours I had it on the run and eliminated. Could this problem be a battlescar? :D DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
