As a light hearted post: I've just started posting on here and the incidence of pop-up invites from college girls with webcams (premium rate of course) has increased tenfold since! Why on earth pay premium rates to watch them studying at college?

Yikes, that's not the usual PPRuNe experience - sounds like you've picked up something nasty somewhere else (although i got the same only two days ago and i could have sworn i was on PPRuNe) - you need to download and run Lavasoft Adaware , which will show you what you've picked up and let you quarantine/remove it...

Adaware is very good, suggest you also download and run Spybot Search and Destroy for good measure. I use both, and find that one sometimes spots things that the other has missed.

Also try changing your browser to Opera or something similar. That has an excellent pop-up eliminator built in.
Anyhow, off to computers forum for this, lots of people there who know how to deal with this kind of thing......

Unfair!! I haven't had a single offer from a college girl, and I've been posting for ages!
