884558 2010-05-13 21:44:00 Scan it with something, for malware Speedy Gonzales (78)
884559 2010-05-13 21:50:00 yeah good idea. i dont wanna get my hard drive infected when i put it in goodiesguy (15316)
884560 2010-05-13 21:53:00 Or post a hijackthis log from it. So, we can see whats in it Speedy Gonzales (78)
884561 2010-05-13 21:54:00 pr0n-like popups usually come from:
1) Visiting dodgy websites, such as "Free pr0n here!!!"
2) Installing cracks or other illegal software which is infected with trojans
3) All of the above ;)

You may also want to do a full scan with the likes of Malwarebytes and Security Essentials, see what they turn up...

884562 2010-05-13 21:57:00 yeah ok. do sites like game house.com and other game sites have viruses. i alway keep rite away from them but my sis goes on them. i dont trust game sites except for ones like runescape where things are strict and is trusted by millions goodiesguy (15316)
884563 2010-05-13 21:59:00 Anything can get infected Speedy Gonzales (78)
884564 2010-05-13 22:02:00 yeah, but i suspect runescape would be more safe as its constantly got moderators and site owner on it etc...

and i got barred from second life on my pc. i didnt know their was a teen one and people got pissed of cos i put my mic up to my speaker and blasted the benny hill theme through their headfones. it was an aussie who was annoying me so i annoyed it back
