Tarun Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 ROFLMAO....You never told me that worked for you. But the numbers that you PMd me were fine. What did you change the numbers to? temporarily hijacking my own thread You either let Windows manage it, or set it according to how much RAM you have. If you have 256MB or 512MB of RAM, set it to 1024 min / 2048 max. If you have 1024MB or higher, set it to at least 512 min/max or use a sliding size (512 / 1024).

His was set at the default....900 and something which I thought was fine. But on my work machine I had to change it to a ridiculous high number for some reason. I'm not sure why though.

Moderators rridgely Posted July 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well I've been coming to this site for a long time now and never gotten a pop up. (on any of my 3 computers) What kind of pop ups are you getting? Next time take a screenshot. Also scan with adaware,defender,ewido,spybot.

krit86lr Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well I've been coming to this site for a long time now and never gotten a pop up. (on any of my 3 computers) What kind of pop ups are you getting? I've been logged into this forum 24/7 for 4 months now. It's just started happening this week. I described the types of popups earlier in the thread. Should I post a HJT log or something? I have the same security as you rridgley, including the router. What do you think?

Moderators rridgely Posted July 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hmm... I don't really know what to think. Go ahead and post a log. Maybe do a scan with this as well: http://www.trendmicro.com/spyware-scan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krit86lr Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'll just start posting the links now. Here is the latest popup. grrrrrrrrrrrrr Other than that using a customized pagefile can cause a horde of memory related issues such as; an app that typically never gives any problems may all of a sudden start barking about being out of memory. Yep. My work machine said it was about out of mem so I just increased the pagefile size, and it's been fine ever since. There is always something, eh?

Moderators Andavari Posted July 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2006 Make sure the popup site hasn't "hacked" and installed itself as a trusted site in your Firefox settings in: Tools->Options->Content->Block Popup Windows->Allowed Sites Blocking the popup source site in the HOSTS file should get rid of it for good.

Moderators rridgely Posted July 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2006 Don't post links because if someone with an unprotected computer clicks it.. well you know. Thats really strange though that both your pop up krit and neighboraaron's are the same. Did you ever put the host file back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
