Quas Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Okay, see the screenshot. Right after I used one of my woodcutting tools (I got both, branches and lumber). The "[b]Current[/b]"(location) word from under the regeneration timer, suddenly became a [b]link[/b], and when I put my mouse on it it shows an ad to some external Romanian thing... [b]Not[/b] MD related. Edit: It happenes to both tools and dissapears after i refresh the [b]page[/b], but still occures every time I use the tools *clicks Post and waits for a reply* Edited November 22, 2011 by Quashen
duxie Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]that's some sort of add-on on your browser. try looking through them.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]and i guess it's not Romanian more like Italian...[/font][/size] VonUngernSternberg, Chewett, Quas and 1 other 2 2
Quas Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Posted November 22, 2011 ...... I thought you noticed, but [b]I AM [/b]Romanian.. and I'm pretty sure I know my own language, thank you. ... lol
Root Admin Chewett Posted November 22, 2011 Root Admin Report Posted November 22, 2011 it is most definately an addon on your browser, most definately check out all your addons and remove it, it could possibly also track and steal your passwords since its editing your webbrowser content.

Zorica Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) oh well quas, looking at your toolbar i dont wonder about strange stuff popping up. as duxie said, an addon or some other browser related nonsense you "co-installed" when installing a software. uninstall everything except: flash-block, adblock, popup-blocker, no-script and ie-tab. all the other stuff like search toolbars etc is just doors for bad things Edited November 22, 2011 by Zorica Quas 1
Quas Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Removed the recent addons (yahoo toolbar and stuff) but didnt fix anything..it actually made one more link appear >.> the only other addon that I have exept Firefox's basic stuff is the MD toolbar Edited November 22, 2011 by Quashen

Quas Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) These are my current add-ons. The first addon wich is not visible is just Adobe the ones below that are not visible also are disabled stuff. I doubt any one of theese might cause the problem..[attachment=3350:Addons.jpg] Edited November 22, 2011 by Quashen
Zorica Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 it doesnt have to be a browser addon. and seeing that you use utorrent...well.....i´d recommend you checking your whole machine and get rid of utorrent and stuff like that Quas and Chewett 1 1

Quas Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Posted November 22, 2011 I did. I also removed anything that I didnt use from Add or Remove Programs, even some trusted programs.. still didn't fixed it. That might leave it to one option, that of being a wierd kinky [color=#ff0000]virus[/color] around here ? Can you recomend a nice free antivirus or only some quick-scan progs if that is the case ? P.S.: As I read from here and there on the internet, it usually shows up anytime and in green text. Not green here and [b]only[/b] shows up after using tools.
duxie Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]install google chrome and check the same situation. if there's no link - it's FF add-on (not necessarily visible, might be some malware). if it's there - you have a bigger problem, and i can't suggest you how to remove it [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]anyways, i'd prefer chrome over FF [/font][/size] Quas, Duke of Malfi, Brulant and 1 other 2 2
