I am using Mac/Safari. When this<BR/>xponlinescanner message pops up it disables the shut down button for Safari and the computer. A message comes up if I hit "shut down" that tells me that Safari has cancelled shut down. The only way to turn the computer off is to hold down the power button.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342680652745667626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587346.post-2941442717284740082008-05-17T15:59:00.000-05:002008-05-17T15:59:00.000-05:00this just happened to me a few minutes ago.

I did a scan and the only thing that popped up was tracking cookies. It came from a frugal shopper site that I visit daily.

I was trying to figure out where it was coming from and it originated from my Photobucket tab. I am running Vista Home Premium and AVG - so far I don't think that pop up has done any harm to my computer. Odd to say the least.

I wonder has anyone had any trouble with a netscape browser? Do those even exist as an actual browser anymore? I experienced it on photobucket and livejournal. I have run (and I am not kidding here)about 6 different anti-virus/anti-spyware programs that claim to detect and erase malware.

It is likely a trojan, which is getting triggered whenever 'something' is accessed by IE. Haven't figured out myself where it is coming from yet, but I'm hoping to do it today.<BR/><BR/>Best thing I've found to do when you see the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587346.post-76239681637385076602008-03-28T12:48:00.000-05:002008-03-28T12:48:00.000-05:00Same thing just happened to me!Same thing just happened to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
