Another possibility?
The beginning of the end of popup porn, Facebook worms and cross-site phishing?
Thx! May also not be FaceBook, extracts for cyclone to analyse as too 'chim' for me,
Websites which can be compromised through the insertion of malicious script tags are said to have a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Carrying out such a compromise is an XSS exploit.
There are two main sorts of XSS exploit. First is the stored or persistent exploit. As the name suggests, unauthorised tags are permanently stored onto the victim's web server - for example, using a SQL injection hack to infect fields in the server's databases. Anyone visiting the site, even if they visit it directly, may be exposed to attack. (SophosLabs finds about 25,000 newly-infected web pages per day, so this sort of compromise is very common.)
More pernicious is the non-persistent or reflective exploit. This sort of exploit is usually much more difficult to detect and to remediate because the unauthorised tags never actually exist on the affected web server. This means that you cannnot search for them in files or databases. Reflective XSS attacks exploit poor input validation by the server, tricking the server into accepting malicious tags as input and then reflecting them blindly in the response sent back to the browser.
This AM, 'Chicken Little' here saw yet another similar pop-up... I better stop coming here for a while to try to isolate the cause...

Hi KopiKat,
What version of Windows do you use ? Are you using Internet Explorer ?
Just for info, cyclone.
When I turn OFF my virus-scan, Value Buddies loads in quick time.
When the virus-scan is ON, sometimes it either doesn't load or takes some time to load.
Hope it's not because of any virus or malware.
Regards.

Hi Musicwhiz, what anti-virus do you use ?

Windows Vista + IE when I encountered my pop-ups (only when accessing VB forum)
All critical updates are done whenever I get prompted

Is there any other anti-virus software in your computer ? Is it just valuebuddies.com loading slowly or other websites also loading slowly ? Can you generate a system information file so that I can analyse ? You can see the instruction here :

I'll do it when I get home. It's my home comp.

Do you mind downloading and installing Firefox ? The link is here :

I want to see the result after you use Firefox.
