Computers Okay, what's up with this place? - Page 2

**luv** · 12-19-2011, 09:37 PM

Second time in a couple of weeks I've had to reboot in safe mode and do a system restore. Both times, I was in a thread on the Planet.

Something about a Flash Player. I didn't click on it to open it or do anything to it. I opened task manager and tried ending the task, but it just kept coming up. I shut down my computer and restarted. Just like last time, I got messages about some sort of Vista Internet Antivirus 2012. I recognized that from last time, so I shut down, restarted in safe mode, and did a system restore.

Anyone know anything about this? Think I'll run a Google search to see what I can dig up. Just thought I'd check with the computer geeks on here as a start.

I have noticed a higher number of browser crashes lately while on CP.

Possible, but I doubt it. Chances are it has to do with an image posted in a thread from a suspicious site.

(But that won't do anything to hurt you.)

Austin is hosting botnets and shit on the same server as the planet.

Adblock, it's a freaking godsend. As much as I hate how much Firefox bogs down my computer sometimes that alone makes it worth the trouble.

I'm hoping you firefoxers know about NoScript.

listopencil · 12-19-2011, 10:14 PM

I use Firefox and Avast. When the latest version of FF gets buggy, I switch to Chrome until they figure it out. I haven't had this problem.

Hammock Parties · 12-19-2011, 10:15 PM

I use Chrome. No issues.

I remember trying that once, and it caused all kinds of issues for me so I removed it.

I use Avast and Chrome and haven't had a single issue with CP ever. Well, other that the dumbasses that post here.

I'm pretty sure, if there's a new virus on this site, it's the n00bs...

**luv** · 12-19-2011, 11:32 PM

Everyone I know who uses Chrome loves it. I tried it, but I just couldn't adjust.

I'm on Firefox and have Webroot.

I'm on Internet Explorer and no viruses at all.
