hehe, confusing me too. I made a post at Outpost forum but they have a bad habit of not responding.

Now you have gone and jinxed it.

hahaha!

that is a true post...

knock on wood..

lynchknot, you must have some kinda ad marketing magnet hidden inside your computer to get those port scans...

How can we find out?

I am willing to do a test to see if I can get the warnings.

however I refuse to use internet explorer due to the serious exploits that are being used to install trojans in internet explorer surfer's computers.

i miss those days when gator prompted if you want to install spyware.... now bad advertising agencies just do it.

I'm not using IE when this occurs. In order to test you have to have my config I guess - Outpost pro and Firefox.

 

[egghead]

I have outpost and firefox and I am getting pissed with outpost blocking access cause every m$ file on my computer wants internet access.

i have no idea what to do so i disable it lol (not recomended)

these dll injection schemes mess everything up.,..

 

[lynchknot]

[Khayman]

I have explorer.exe blocked and I have components on normal.

I use winrollback to freeze my drive so every reboot is like a fresh install haha

 

[lynchknot]

haha, so it works?!!! Ok how does it work? do you leave it passworded or do you unlock it before reboot - oh sorry, OT - ill talk to you later.

The offending/destructive ads seem to be gone for some time (at least here).

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah, we don't have Bannerconnect on here anymore.
Basically if you see ads for surveys, thats where Bannerconnect was.
I'm looking for someone to fill those spots as I don't like "default" ads, but I'm not in any real kind of rush.

 

[lynchknot]

You don't like googleads?

 

[Electronic Punk]

Google ads are on most if not all pages.

just use firefox and adblock🙂
adblocks also very handy for getting rid of all those useless bloated signature pictures here too

1) blocking the ads did nothing to stop the DoS/port scan activity of them
2) you can disable sigs in your UserCP instead of just blocking sig ip's
