Default Having issue with General section.

Everytime I load the C5 general section I seem to get a Home Page hijack by conduit, I use my malware tool and clean everything up till I access C5 again, I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

I've been having a very difficult time navigating thru the forum pull down menus lately. Seems to "chug" very slowly then often times the Corvette Forum website crashes and shuts down completely. It happens on different computers.

Mr.Bill
Bill,

Are you logged into the forum when you have this issue? I usually read the forum from my iPad and unless I'm logged in, the adware (often Cadillac ads) freezes my browser. No issues when logged in.

Yeap, I am having issues too. I cannot go back to the previous screen for some reason but not all the time. I also notice a different icon on the tab when this happens.

Not crashing for me, but the ads which use 3rd party or first party or who knows what (Doubleclick.net) cause me not to be able to return with the back button. I guess other browsers work fine, but I use IE10, and 8 and Microsoft refuses to fix the issue.

This is one of the reasons I bought a Mac, no BS adds, lock ups, or anti virus crap to deal with!

Mr. Bill:

Have you not been practicing safe computing?

Fear not, been there...done that. Unfortunately, the solution is a PITA.

Start here...

http://www.techsupportall.com/how-to...onduit-search/

...I got nailed by this crap twice before I realized how I was getting it and no problem since, but clearing it out was no fun.

I did not download any of the software suggested on this site, I simply did it the manual (hard) way.

If you google conduit adware, you will find many other sites with helpful tips.

Good luck!

Bob

I'm on Google Chrome with no issues. IE may be the problem. I've found Chrome to be more responsive, especially when I'm on different forums.

Ditch Windoze, switch to Linux; there are many free distributions - try Ubuntu
