That site put a nice little bunch of spyware and addware on my pc.
I closed the site and went back to my desktop and as soon as I did I started getting adds popping up for their products.
I ran my tracks eraser program and it kept telling me my Internet Explorer was still running even after I closed it :mad:

Sure enough I looked under Temp and Temp Internet on my hard drive and there was two files/folders that it wouldnt let me delete. I had Jon unplug my internet THEN I was able to delete the files. Restarted the computer and now they are gone.

Their website tried to get me

All I wanted was a surejell recipe for strawberry/peach jam lol.

sorry to hear that -

That is the good thing about SP it does no such thing as that!!!

As a web developer I should point some things out here..

"Web Sites" do not put spyware on your PC. Users put spyware on their PCs. The only way you get spyware is by installing software, not by browsing. A website cannot install software on your PC without permission by you. You have to either say yes when it prompts you to install an active X plugin (which after checking the Kraft website, no such thing exists there) or download some kind of software from the site, and then click to install it.

I think that chances are, you already had spyware/adware in the machine and it was waiting for you to browse somewhere that matched a profile for ads it was ready to serve. As soon as you hit Kraft, it basically said to itself "hey, we have some kraft ads here" and then showed them to you.

Furthermore, you will find ads again as soon as you hit another site that matches yet another profile. Run anti-spyware software on your PC and that should get rid of it.

I disagree Jafo. The only thing I download from websites are recipes. I do not click to download and install any software. My little sister is also a web developer.
Jon and I repair/build and program computers for people. Jon is an assistive technology instructor. The schools around here hire him when ever they have a visually impaired student. Jon can rip a computer apart down to the case and put it back together and the guy is blind.

I know active x leaves computers open to picking up spyware and addware but some websites are unusable without it. Im running a very up to date antivirus ...which I obviously need to switch. Im running SpySweeper, Tracks Eraser, XoftSpy, Malware Scanner and 2 different firewalls. I had updated my antivirus to a newer version of Kaspersky a few months ago and it is not protecting me as well as the old version. This makes twice I have gotten busted by this sort of thing.

You do have websites install the spyware/addware on your pc through the door left open via active x when you visit some sites. Kaspersky asks me about some sites when Im surfing but it is obviously letting some get through. But you DO get spyware/addware from websites and you do not have to click to install them. Active x controlls allow them to put the junk into your temp and temp internet files. Jon has active x disabled and he has never had a problem with this sort of thing.

I remember the good old days when you had to open a file to get a virus/addware. Now you get them from surfing.
