Pornographic Pop ups
:repuke:repuke Is anyone else revolted by the Sex passport pop up site that automatically opens when I open the Vee Dubbers site. Someone told me
that these people pay money to sites such as this to have their disgusting sites viewed. Pam

never has happened to us...
your computer must be hosting some spy program.
use adaware to check it out & do a virus scan as well just to be sure.

Doesn't happen to me either. Could you let us all know how to access the sex passport so we can judge for ourselves if we will be revolted.

The forum will definitely not open pornographic pop-up ads, or any pop-ups for that matter.
The others are correct, you must have some kind of spy/ad program installed that you are not aware of.

I think you will find that a site you have looked at has put a program in your Computer. These programs bring on the Adds some how.
I had some Bitch called Joanna poping up and trying to Screw me. When I got Spy ware protection she pissed off.

Who has been at your computer.....
Looks like someone may have been surfing at some sites they should not have........might want to go and scan the system as stated above.
A way to find your cookies is: go to internet explorer/tool/internet options/general tab(settings), click on the settings. Click on the view file:
then look for any document ending in .TXT (They should look like this. (cookie: [your username]@webpage name here)
You can also see when they were last accesssed/updated and loaded onto your system. By useing the times you can use this as a start point as to WHO
was at home surfing at the given times.

Unfortunatley once a pc has been infected like this it will be full of cookies from every site that has ever popped up.
These progs can be installed in a number of ways and depending on your security settings you may not even have had any prompts about it - I mostly see
them installed from crack sites - er no not that type, the the type of site where you get serial numbers and cracks for pirate software or download
pirate software.

I can tell you now we will NEVER run pop up ads, nor would we advertise pr0n sites.
In fact, a company that is not VW related would find it tricky to advertise with us.
Please go here:

Get yourself Adaware, and remove the spyware on your PC.

pornographic pop-ups
Thankyou for the adware site. I have installed this on the computer and run the scan through and apparently found about 57 items which have been
removed. As I am the only one to have access to the computer as I keep it in a locked desk and the keys with me I can only assume it has come from
some other site I have looked at (non-pornographic). It just shows how easily it can happen. So far this time no-pop ups, :bounce. thanks to all
for the advice. Pam
