blonde poker forum

Last couple of days I've been getting some weird stuff happening when I browse blonde on my laptop (fine on phone).  Yesterday when I clicked on links to threads a new tab/window would open up taking me to betting/gambling websites (Paddy Power was one - can't remember the others.  Today I'm getting a random side bar appearing with poker related stuff (screenshot below).

and as I clicked on the 'post' button, instead of posting, this happened:

anyone else getting this and/or know what might be causing it?  I've run a scan for malicious software, but it didn't find anything :dontask:

help!!

I started getting these whilst using firefox as a browser so binned it and went with Chrome, no probs now. Just fired up in firefox and getting the same.

Geo

yeah same.

this is news to me, I will make kinboshi and ironside aware, see what the issue is

do you use Incredimail?

don't know what that is.

Opposite to Geo here - I use Chrome but have just opened up the forum in Firefox and no problems.  very curious!

looks too me at first glance you guys have all clicked on a bad link somewhere and installed some spamware (adware)into a browers some how

the addware isnt a thing blonde has added

Ah, Geo's screenshot is showing "MyStart Search" which is a browser hijack that apparently gets installed alongside Incredimail.

Could be that you've also got the hijack somehow.

guys add me on skype blondepoker_iron and i will see if i can find the problem

mystart search is installed with loads of crap

if that fails skype me guys so i can talk in real time

Nice one Iron thanks -  I didn't have mystart search but  had another extension installed by a third party - have deleted it and seems ok now :)

perfect

just in case anyone else has similar problem with chrome:

click on menu, then settings, then extensions.  any ticked and labelled 'installed by a third party' are likely to be the culprit - just delete them :)

You get these parasitic programs piggy-backing on installs of other software.  So they don't always appear in your installed programs list and neither do they appear in most malware scans.

Think last time I saw one like this was on a computer where a program that had been installed to view football streams had also installed the cheeky browser hijacking software as well. Got to be careful, as although this one is naughty it's not malicious. Sometimes they can be. 

Standard spyware crap... Just go to download.com and use something like malware bytes to clean it up

I have exactly the same problem, but unfortunately im useless with computers and basically understand none of this :(

While Tomsoms staking packages do keep appearing, apparently they represent "value"!

Rexas if no one can help you out today I will be online this evening

All fixed now, appreciated Iron and others

Geo

Quality, thank you so much
