My wife works from home and connects to her company's network via an NTL Business cable connection. For the last couple of weeks she has been getting a nuisance 'message box' which appears from what is probably a porno-type site.
This is not like an internet pop-up window (although her company's systems dept have provided some software to stop nuisance pop-ups and this hasn't stopped it). It looks more like a Windows message box, grey in colour and addressed to what I assume is my wife's IP address. The same message has been coming a few times a day, although this evening when I closed the message box two other similar boxes popped up but this time offering different adult services or products.
I visited the site listed in the initial mention its a
www.-----.cc address. It offers a voyeur-cam type service and a pop-up appears trying to get you to accept a download of software that makes this run. It is distinctly dodgy.
My wife thinks the messages began coming after she'd been doing some research (no really) on Mens Magazines (FHM, GQ etc.). This may just be a coincidence. Neither my kids or I use her computer to connect to the internet.
It strikes me that this is more than the usual internet pop-up nuisance and must be getting to her machine either through her company's network or via NTL. Anyone got any ideas?
Any guidance gratefully received.
