New Spy Downloadware....

Holy God.....what's with these ad companies.

Surely we're not the only site in the world that is family oriented, and wish to receive only a certain kind of ads, and not get bombed with Claria, Bargain Buddy and the likes.

There just has to be some trustworthy content providers out there

Claria,

Please use the term "Clariass" in dealing with Gator. If enough people use it, it can become so common that they wish they'd never changed the name at all.

Two, neither of which loaded. (Moz 1.6a)

Oh, the irony! It crashed!

So, I opened this thread, when boom! My IE crashed! Now a couple of things to remember:

I obviously cannot claim that Apolyton or some popup has caused IE to crash.

However, I have reasons to suspect that that was the case because:

1. I have never before experienced an IE crash on this machine.
2. Only one single IE window was running, and nothing else on the machine.
3. I've been getting quite a bit of javascript errors on 'Poly lately (though since my virtual machine on this comp has always been kinda screwed up, I dismissed them as a consequence of that).
4. ... Uhhh, there was something else I wanted to mention here, but in the process of taking and saving the screenie, and waiting for Spybot:S&D to finish, I forgot.

And Spybot didn't find anything but harmless cookies, btw...

Don't want to tempt fate, but I think we're clean.

None this time, thanks.

So far so good.

Thanks for your quick response, Markos.

Any idea as to the culprit?

You got an infamous GPF (general protection fault), so it seems pretty unlikely that 'Poly caused it.

I didn't notice a new rash of popups...

... of course, I use the google toolbar

Now you are making me scared. It just happened two more times... Both when trying to access this thread. What is this GPF you speak of? And more importantly: how do I make it go away?

[Urban Ranger]

GPF means a program tries to write to some area in the main memory which is used by another program.

The two main causes are either the program is badly written (or somehow corrupted) or the CPU is acting strangely, which generally is caused by overheating.

One thing you may want to try is to repair or update IE. Of course, it's better to change to a better browser.

[DrSpike]

Try Opera.
