bozodog Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Nice way to get lost on the WWW. I'm one who goes somewhere with a purpose and gets lost for hours following links and "other" subjects. Funny how a left turn can be executed with three right turns.

bearskin Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Stumbleupon.com hours of fun just surfing.Prestonhi preston. I ran spybot s&d the other night and it said that stumbledupon.com left a toolbar on my computer and a registry entry. spybot recognizes it as a baddie. let me know if you find anything. thanks.let me edit this: I'm not sure if it was spybot, adaware, or asquare...anyway it said it was a no-no.

I have this PC locked down pretty tight so this may not be a indication of safty. I will with draw the link if it is a potential hazard. I thought mindless surfing from time to would be theraputic. sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozodog Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Ahhhh, I'ma guessing our router has a lot to do with blocking baddies. AdAware, of course flags MRU's. But no problem here with it.Doesn't matter to me though. I surf where I wanna... If I get in trouble it's because I clicked a stupid link. I might mention, I have NEVER had malware that Avast free didn't flag, and all the others just scan and smile at me. Edited April 13, 2006 by bozodog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
