Kjølen Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 Every time I goto a new page or refresh on LucasForums, no where else I get something asking if I want to download a "search.js" from "pagead.googlesyndication.com" I've tried downloading the thing to shut it up but it doesn't help, and a faulty, in-need-of-subscription Norton AntiVirus 2002 doesn't detect anything. I just deleted the file after it didn't work.
Joshi Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 hey k-jo, remember that hosts file raVenimage gave us a while ago on MIFF2, that's works for me, i don't get anything like that on lucasforums. if you need it, let me know and i'll email it to you.
Kjølen Posted March 30, 2003 Author Posted March 30, 2003 Well, it's not exaclty a banner or popup, so i don't think that will work, plus last time I tried raVen's stuff something happened, i don't remember but it messed a few things up so i deleted it, i dunno.
Darth Eggplant Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 I was recently asked to download something so that I could translate and read the hebrew text used in this site. when I went to the GFN, I did not know that the lucas forums had gone Kosher:D
scabb Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Don't use the hosts file. Support your community. And kjolen, it's to do with your IE settings - IE shouldn't download that type of file anyway, It should load in the ad maybe? I'm unsure. I am impressed and aroused by the latest pop-up that looks like the command screen.
Kjølen Posted March 31, 2003 Author Posted March 31, 2003 Fortunatly, I don't get banners and popups, but how might I go about changing these IE options?
scabb Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 Well, on my system the file extension *.js opens by default with Microsoft ® Windows Based Script Host. Maybe create a new document, rename it to *.js, and then open it with the script host? However, I don't want to be responsible for screwing up your computer, in case it's some evil application lurking in the background; and after all, script files can be dangerous. Next time you're asked to download one, save it to hard drive and run a virus scan on it before messing about.
