Am going to get off here soon. Geron, no information found regarding cyber attacks before 9-11. Was a fruitless search. JRandom, I saw something perhaps of interest on youtube earlier tonight. Was an add that was supposed to be sponsored by google because when went to complain the link went to google. Wish could remember all the particulars but am unable to remember everything. Was the first time have seen that particular add. Was red lettering on white background and asking me to possibly do a check-up of my CPU but am uncertain was a CPU check up add. At youtube was playing music and the add was present till went to stop the add. Google popup then appeared and gave three choices. Can’t remember the choices offered by google. Add was strange and that is best can do with the memory, at this point. If remember anything else will get back to you.
another bit of interest as am remembering. I did not go to thread that has been listed as threat by google to the best of my knowledge. My problem began at Youtube tonight with the add. Google pops up and gives me three choices when attempt was made to eliminate the add. Chose top choice and sent to google. Within 15 seconds receive another popup that appeared to be Microsoft sent informing me internet connection has been lost. Have seen this maybe two or three times in the last couple of months and has been incorrect. Internet was still connected. ‘x’ out upper right each time and internet connection was working because was here at FR and continued to browse, post, etc without disruption and have continued to this point after ‘x’ out of last dialog box without any problem(s).
I hate the ads and a pop-up at Youtube? Never saw one, must be a trojan or something. Sort of like if you get a pop-up ad here, it ain’t from here.
