A L E R T..............
I clicked on the URL below the excerpt and read the script. I didn’t click on the video and attempted to close web page.
Every time I clicked the “X” to close it, more of the same page appeared until I had about 10 of them. I had to shut down the computer and rebooted.
I don’t know what that was. I’m no expert.
It’s a good way to prevent people from seeing the Carney/0b0z0 Kabuki dance.
Anyone experienced this?
sounds like a script hack.. the X just redirects, silently installs malware, is a prank, or whatever the script-kiddy wanted it to do..
I recommend booting in safe mode, run something like malwarebytes and Spybot (and AdAware) (or other good scanners).. rebbot and see what happens after that...
Might not even have been from the origional webmaster... someone could have slipped it in.
If you are running Firefox, you need AdBlock and NoScript (as addons from Mozilla) to feep that stuck from happening ;)
OH!!
If you are unsure about a pop-up or, or even a webpage, you should either close the window/pop-up by right clicking on the windows ‘box’ on the taskbar, and closing it from there.. OR by using the task-manager ;)
Never click on a suspect popup to try and close it. Ctrl-Alt-Del to brink up task manager and close it that way.
I use CTRL W on all windows.
You got browser bombed. Someone poisoned the link.
