    Whats good folks?

    K So i have FF (firefox) I have that adblocker plug in installed aswell.

    So anyhow I went to a Zshare link n i got a pop up on a seperate FF window with this address. //pt.888.com I clicked the tab on my taskbar n selected close. Then a box pops up with yes or no. I don't even trust the Xout button on those n regardless when i hovered the mouse over the X on the beige box it doesn't even look active/clickable

    So i opened task manager and ended FF. I tried accessing Adblocker prior to ending on FF but it didnt find the address add at hand since it was on a seperate FF window.

    U think this is from Spyware i might have gotten or just a random popup? (This isn't a continuing problem iv'e just seen this ad once or twice on pages i happened to browse.

    Whats the best way to handle this issue?
    Thanks
    Bless,

    :D u cant be serious right?

    U think this is malware? It only happened that once, haven't seen it for the rest of the day.

    U think it generated from my system n not the net? If so i Quit online after 10+ years cuz i haven't a clue where it came from n i surf pretty safely not to mention i have a army of AV/AS systems in full effect.:major

    Hello AlwaysInfected :)

    If that is the only occurence you had, chances are it was just a pop-up from the site that you visited. Let me know if these start happening on a regular occurence, though.

    Yea man its not like a spyware issue with a timed setting popping up every 1-2 minutes. I noticed it comes up on Zshare.com Zshare is like a hosting site for files, music mainly or whateva n i've only seen it there.

    Thanks anway!
    Preciate it!:major

    Hi

    You are blocking an advert in 888.com which is poker related when you use Zshare as many file hosting sites use advertising to pay for the bandwidth, and many do use Poker related sites for ad revenue, this is normal on these sites and not malware related.
