Load up Ghostery Firefox addon, it will block tracking cookies & scripts on web pages that may do stuff you dont want

1101, whew, had to leave it running over night !

Bit off for moi, it said there were over 2,000,000 odd infections.

Each time a new browser screen comes up a different little black box appears top r/h corner:

DoubleClick
Google Adsense
NetRatings SiteCensus
ScoreCard Research Beacon
Yahoo Analytics

Almost as bad as the IE one.

Thanks,

Lurking.

1352872 2013-09-07 05:11:00 Dont think those are infections theyre tracking cookies etc. You'll be surprised by the crap some sites load / redirect to, when you visit them Speedy Gonzales (78)
1352873 2013-09-07 05:15:00 Hi Speedy, yes I see that black box is part of the website 1101 gave above.

The c r a p that we get now is becoming overwhelming eh.

Regards,

Lurking.
