I have ranted at mods on here about this site, but using it away from my own pc I have no issues, pop-ups, media player opening up with corrupted files, A/V going mad.
When Media player opens, then triggers virus software, I get some corrupted or obfuscated file messages, and the Java logo appears bottom right on the task bar.
So, one of my Java up-dates is a bogus one, and causing me issues.
I got a fecked file, how do I shift it? Or find it?
If I completely delete JAVA and go get a new version will it cure my issues?
What effect will running without Java have?
Erm, help.

Was I awake?
Deleted every Java file on here, then re-installed a new version.
Seems improved at present.
Still doesn't explain why I only got the pop-ups and corrupt media downloads from this site only, though.
I could go on any other site* with no issues.
*artistic interest sites excepted.

Something hid Java agent 2212 (I think, it's shifted now) on here, which caused no end of fun.
Click topic, get diverted to Chinaonline.com. Or something.

Have you tried Malwarebytes?
It's free, just google it. Shifts most nasties.

So, removed malwarebytes and "tried" Stopzilla, telling it I'd register/buy later.
That found the highjacker bugs, plus over 100 other things (though tbh, they were toolbars/cookies mostly) and when I decided to uninstall it, it took the bugs away.
Avira dealt with openconnect, the latest threat.

Reformat it and stop arsing about
A lot of Yorkshiremen believe that when God created the world, he made it with perfect balance.
He balanced the hot areas with the cold areas. the dry areas with the wet areas.
And, in creating Yorkshire, he created the most glorious place on earth - full of majestic beauty and sporting giants.........and for balance he created....... Lancashire.

Got to agree with Lee, mate. Get the professionals in. My local shop sorted my PC out, saved all old files, reformatted the hard disc and loaded XP plus a load of other software all for €50.
My PC works great now, only problem is they loaded a later version of XP than I have, so I now get a warning at start-up about Windows Genuine Advantage. I've tried using my XP disc, but the version is older than the one installed, so the OS refuses to acknowledge it. Bloody Windows!
