I use the Scriptblocker plugin for Firefox. Stops all scripts from every site, you choose which ones you want to run.

the shit that bothers me the most is the volume issue. it just lowers it to the point where i cant hear a damn thing anymore.

Same computer I seen a few years ago? Dog hair infection is my guess.

What scanner(s) are you using?

ryan89crx · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2010, 10:34:09 PM »

NoScript plugin for Firefox. End

shadow · « **Reply #14 on:** July 07, 2010, 10:46:12 PM »

Imburn, nah the was my buddys. This is my laptop.

I tried scanning it with spybot, and malwarebytes.

Ryan, its a virus/adware/spyware of some sort it my guess so the script thing for ff won't help.

Spud, lol, same thing I told ryan.

Buk, I said I already tried two of those.

China man, jd is correct. His baldness knows no boundries. Lol

Bald is beautiful. I can't wait until the day people stop telling me they expected me to have less hair.

Go to www.ubcd4win.com get it and learn to use it. Its the only way I've gotten rid of some stuff without complete reinstall/wiping computer since it boost completely outside your install of windows.

jesus christ dude. just clear your temporary internet files. thats all that needs to be done.

Jorsher · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2010, 01:44:53 AM »

Microsoft Security Essentials if you're on an OS that it can be installed on.

Otherwise, the obvious solution is to reformat and install Linux. It only takes 30 minutes to make it do what the fuck you want it to do, and surely your friend will give up by then...thus never fucking it up again.

shadow · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2010, 04:04:35 PM »

Ran MSE and it found nothing then tried superantispyware and it found lots of shit, but the problem is still there =/ fucking shit.

Ntrain2k · « **Reply #20 on:** July 08, 2010, 05:52:38 PM »

Did you update malwarebytes before you ran the scan?

shadow · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2010, 06:04:06 PM »

yep.

so far ran:

spybot
malwarebytes
microsoft security essentials
superantispyware
ccleaner

kain, how the hell is that supposed to help? go back to playing with tux

i think i might just reformat this thing, shitty. i gotta start backing shit up...

Well if those didn't find anything and there's no problems when not using your browser, Logic would seem to point to scripts being run from the browser. Common sense should tell you to at least install Adblock or script stopper and see what happens.

Honestly it sounds like you've spent more time fucking with it than you would have spent backing up the important stuff and reinstalling the OS.

When you're done, install MSE and an alternate browser. He should never have those issues with FF or Chrome.

Make sure to delete the IE icons and hide it as well as possible. On Win7 you can uninstall it without any detrimental effects. You can even update Windows without it unlike previous versions...

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #28 on:** July 09, 2010, 06:07:58 PM »

FF will develop those problems. It's popular enough that people have gone out of their way to find it's loopholes, just like IE.

Jorsher · « **Reply #29 on:** July 09, 2010, 07:44:39 PM »

Possibly.

I know my mom would get malware semi-regularly when she used IE despite only going to online game sites and facebook. I installed FF and forced her to use it, and it's been problem free for months. I only use it at work since it's the only non-IE browser approved for gov't employee consumption, and use Chrome at home.

Either way, he is considerably less likely to have problems with FF than IE.

The beta of FF4 is available, and I dig the minimalist look, but do not like the address bar being between the tabs and pages. Doesn't make sense IMO.
