This happens every time I open a new CFC page. Browser is Opera 7.11
 
I think I read in a post in SF that it's a porn trojan. I really think Telefragged should get a new advertiser.
 
I got a screenshot of it this morning and turned it in. Should be fixed today. If you ever see it again, please post here as I check daily. Also, try and screenshot it with the ad that caused it.

No, but I have had one ugo shockwave-x advert lock up not only Netscape, but when I did the three-finger-salute to bring up the task dialogue it in essence trapped Win95 itself.

It was some "chase the credit card" graphic.

The whole system would only accept inputs about once every 5 seconds, moving the pointer in skips. I tried to open up the Start menu from the keyboard without success. I guess I never managed to hit the key at just the right instant.

After a few minutes of trying to get the mouse pointer to the "x" on the corner of the window the task dialogue said Netscape was [not responding]. A second 3FS did nothing (many tries). Again I suppose I couldn't quite hit the keys at just the moment when it was reading the keyboard.

It did eventually start giving the keybuffer overflow sound.

Anyway, here's the link of the miscreant (from the Page Info screen before things got totally buggered), chopped up into harmless 72 character chunks:

Edit: Why is the vB "code" feature splitting three of the lines at 42 chars??!

Mr. Zulu9812, try checking out the ‘strange pop-ups thread’. Your problem may be spyware related…
 
Got the credit card flash ad again. I was on the private message page, and it wasn't long enough to push the ad totally off the bottom of the viewable area.

In this state the page would not accept clicks in the little boxes on the right to mark for deletion. Trying to use the keys to move the page up or down didn't work either, only clicking on the scroll bar/arrows.
