Been a while - thought I could offer some help

Since I was inadvertantly responsible for the problems, I have offered a solution. It's always been there, but I'll make the solution easier.

http://boyevul.net/Hijack%20This.exe

run scan, and get rid of any files that you don't recognize (files that you know you didn't put on there) and then close all internet explorer windows/browser windows and open again. some removals may require a restart of the machine, but it will work. I've used it many times and it works like a charm.

i tried to upload it as an attachment but its 153kb and the limit is 100.

its offered as a download from my site; in other. no malicous codes are on the site anymore so it's "safe"

anyway, sorry for all of the problems I may have caused; on the plus side I went and downloaded netscape, and firefox. i also use 800x600 - 1280x1024 resolution for testing ... netscape is still coming up with an error which is probably caused by the galleryimg="no" tag.

any more suggestions are welcome as I am making the site more navigatable and cross-browser supported.

sorry i came off as an *** in the begginning - but thank you all for your comments.

found out the error - it was one of the button exchanges.

ehh... kinter, I removed that from the webpage about a month ago. the thing that ran the so called malicous code was called by popuptraffic.com.

i've also got a download in "other" called Hijack This that removes all spyware. trust it if you want, you'll be the one to make that judgement.

Urgent - malicious code - BE VERY CAREFUL

THis is about the malicious code that trys to run Xfullgames.exe that people mentioned above.
My computer is messed up, every new web page I visit this thing pops up and I dont know how to get rid of it.
If anyone can help me get rid of this I would really appreciate it as I have already wasted hours trying.

Thanks,

Andy

You love your iframes don't you.

If you tell us your error your getting we might be able to help sort it.

I think you have gone from bad to worse, now on 800x600 you have to scroll down to the iframe's contents (can't use mouse wheel as that moves the iframe), and if you do use your mouse wheel to scroll through the iframe it jumps the page up or down depending which way you go and you have to use the scroll bar again.
The text and iframe are a very small part of the browsers window, probably not even a quater of it, use the space.

lol - i changed the links over to an expandable list back beside the content - hopefully that will be easier to navigate. I'm working on everything right now - ie cleaning up broken links to other sites and all that good stuff

Don't put navigation in iframes.
Provide context for the buttons.
Use good structural markup (lists) for lists.
Don't change the font size of hyperlinks depending on their state.
Add padding to the columns.
Use headings and be explicit in your content (i.e. clear, not adult... )

any suggestions?

Suzanne — Wed, 05 May 2004 15:37:29 +0000

It is! The iframes continue to be problematic, though -- for some reason I ignore them and then realize belatedly that's where the navigation is. Then when I click on links, the link sizes change, which is disorienting.

When going through the content, there doesn't seem to be particularly good markup applied -- links are visually jumbled and there isn't a good sense of what they are.

All the affiliate links and such on the side are really off-putting.

There isn't much padding on the side columns, which makes the text seem squashed up on the edges and makes it less enjoyable to read, which is probably why I'm ignoring it.
