| 295323 | 2004-11-23 05:07:00 | Ok I'm not sure if anyone else has seen it but there is a video window popping up on the PressF1 site. Have a look here (sal.neoburn.net). Does everyone get this, I've never seen it before... how do I get rid of it, it's bloody annoying. cheers chiefnz |

| 295324 | 2004-11-23 05:40:00 | It seems to do it with me (on Firefox). Is it targeted advertising of some sort (PressF1 installing spyware and adware on our computer???) | somebody (208) | ||
| 295325 | 2004-11-23 05:43:00 | Haven't seen the Video myself, But I don't agree with them, the only way they rate is by annoyance. | metla (154) | ||
| 295326 | 2004-11-23 05:45:00 | im on firefox and there is no sign of it... | lagbort (5041) | ||
| 295327 | 2004-11-23 05:48:00 | I know these. They are NOT from any sites but are caused by spyware. They can appear to 'attach' themselves to a site, and show when you go to that site. Run Spybot, it got it for me. Cheers George |

Yep, it is a thing called flash video, where you can put video in to flash & you make a flash movie. In a nutshell that is how it is done Now I know why flash has been starting to get a bad name, all Thanks to ad companies! |

| 295331 | 2004-11-23 19:12:00 | I ran spybot last night and it didn't pick up anything. However, it seems to have stopped so I'll wait and see. | somebody (208) | ||
| 295332 | 2004-11-23 21:08:00 | Hello F1ers, This is not spyware/adware, its a tag that we have implemented on all IDG sites that runs a small TV type advert. It should only run once, and set a cookie to not run it again - and apparently runs on time slots, rather than continuously like banner ads. You may have noticed Stuff also have these tags on their site. See this Computerworld article (idg.co.nz) for more info about the MediaOne Network. |
