In Memory of Soldier A

(insanity here)
it seems everytime i try to do my daily chance today on any of my accounts, some sort of malware or virus keeps trying to implant itself on my computer. some anti-virus program that isn't the one i have keeps insisting that my computer must be infected. i actually hit cancel the other day without knowing what it was, and it started scanning my hard drive (basically uploading itself). i managed to n** it in the bud with the help of my dad, but it's incredibly persistant in trying to worm itself in.

i keep having to end IE via CtrlAltDel (not the webcomic) and it's annoying beyond comparison. anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?

EDIT: looked on the main forums, and i'm definately not the only one with this problem. apparently it's a rogue ad and it apparently happens when you post on the main forums too. it can be fixed in FireFox, but no solid solutions for IE yet.

Use Firefox. IE is just full of problems. Recently on dA I got shoved onto a virus scan site like 4 different times and it was full of nasty cookies and popups that wouldn't die. I also scanned my computer and found there was one virus on it. Pissed me off. = n =

I haven't had any problems with Gaia lately *knock on wood* Let's hope it stays this way!

Reminds me of yesterday.
I was lookiing up lyrics, and when I go to this page a bunch of pop-ups keep appearing.
Same exact pop-up, appearing over and over.
Even when I left that page, they still popped up.
I had to end IE too, just to get it to stop.

This happened to a friend of mine. She had to get FF and get the add-on No-Script just to make it all stop.

Insanity, even IF they are tons of threads about it already, make ANOTHER one. Gaia is more likely to fix an issue if a lot of people are complaining about it, or at least fix it faster.
