Before im loosing my mind here

Ps. how do i remove it ??
 
You may have been visiting sites your mother would not have approved of. At least that's what I've learned from problems I've had in the past and with my friends who aren't exactly computer literate.

If this icon links you to a porn site or runs a porno-related program when you double-click it, a program is probably running that causes it to keep being placed there. Check your task manager. Look for any programs with funny names or anything that doesn't look familiar. If this is a link that actually runs MS Office 2003, contact Microsoft for help.
 
Not a dirty bird here!

I have the same problem and both Webroot's spysweeper and Adware 6.0 won't knock it out. I also use Windows Washer after throwing it in the recycle bin. This is a work computer that's hooked up to a server and so far this is the only computer is has poped up on. No one looks at porn on this end of the office anyway!

please help !!!!
 
Have you checked to see if it has an entry in Add/Remove Programs. Alot of the spyware stuff actually provides an uninstall option in there.
 
Still there

Nothing is out of place. There is small business contacts for outlook 2003 with the lgo and then microsoft proff. edition 2003. I guess I'll call my tech guy back to fish it out and let you guys know what the deal is. Everytime I tell someone about they get all red int he face.

oh well.

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • Ghan Ghan:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
