Have you ever been web spammed?
#3
Thanks Doc, OK, maybe more clarification needed...

Browser history fills up w/ a whole bunch of URL's starting w/ social.bidsystem.com..., and ending w/ a series of consecutive numbers after an equals sign. There is no visible window open, and none shown under the Window menu associated w/ the listing shown under the browser history. Clicking on one of the history entries opens a blank page w/ a banner ad at the top, w/ usually some sort of "click here" or "click now" button. If left alone, the banner changes every minute or so, and generates another entry in the history list. It seems to be associated w/ having a tab or window open to the vendor's site; if the vendor's site, or a solo banner window is not up on the browser, the browser is normal, so for years I have left the vendor's site open, unless they truly stop tossing up this crud, they're gonna lose my business. Any other ideas to make it stop? Thanks,

Buzz
