Onderwerp: Drivecleaner Hijacking

I have also been plagued with this recently and can confirm it is specific to an ad on this site (affecting me on IE and Firefox). I do not believe it is not the result of my machine(s) being infected with spyware.

My solution was to download the flashblock add-on which has solved the problem. One of the flash ads is hijacking my browsers. It appears to happen when the add area at the top or bottom displays a blank white banner. Then the next click hijacks everything.

Not sure how to best get this resolved but thought I would pass this along.

wfroelich: That's the same thing I found with the blank white banner. It was a weight watcher ad tho. I couldn't get it to repeat (lol - like I would want that, eh?)

Google Toolbar's Pop-up blocker will block it on IE, and Adblock Plus on Firefox seems to completely remove the ads from even showing.

Jessica, I hope this will help you.........

wfroelich: LOL...earlier this week it was ErrorProtector at home; this morning (according to Symantec) I was infected by the DriveCleaner virus at work, as soon as I logged in here. Our InfoTech department won't be happy with me; no more BrainKing for wetware while at work! :-)
