Every once in a while, when I click on something in the main Dwarf Fortress page, I get an unsolicited tab opened to some kiddie wizard MMO. Sometimes I have to click a link, sometimes I can click just a bit of text and it pops up. I can't replicate it on any other webpages. Is anyone else getting this, or is it time to go hardcore on virus scanning?

[Dutchling]

I never had anything like that happen..

Maybe there are ads there? I have no idea, I use adblock

I've never had that happen, and I just spend a few minutes clicking around the main page. :|

Virus scan. It's definetally a browser hijacker.

[Knight of Fools]

Running the scans right now. Spybot found something called Wajam, which may be causing it.

Any other suggestions for programs to root whatever this is out?

[Scelly9]

Try Hijack this.

wipes toolbars and adware and other crapware from your computer and i know wajam is on that list since i just used this a couple of hours ago on my father's computer :/

This is a wonderful program. Fixed it right up after I fixed a bunch of stuff floating all around and deleted a bunch more that I didn't want/recognize.

Thanks guys!

Spoke too soon. I don't know if I missed it or something reinstalled it. If it's the latter, I may have a serious problem.

The strange thing is that it's only affecting that one page, and it doesn't happen in Windows Explorer. I'm going to try reinstalling Chrome real quick. This is incredibly strange.

Reinstalling Chrome fixed it (Hopefully). Crisis averted.

The biggest of the numerous problems with these new phones is, you can't slam them down to hang up.

Yes you can. Only works once though.

I've never heard of any of those.  They sound like good advice thou.

Ok I have to ask because I always assumed the answer was no... but...

If you pass out from a lack of oxygen and whatever was preventing you from breathing is gone... You will recover right?

Movies and television always seem to suffocate people until they pass out and then give up... as if it just suddenly killed them.

Yeah, eventually.

Usually you have to hold on to them for a while longer to ensure complete strangulation.

Very high risk of permanent brain damage or death. That's why passing out is one of the instant [GO SEE A DOCTOR NOW] symptoms.
