Re: VC#, displaying ads?


I've tried a couple of scanner progs and nothing has turned up...

The strange thing is I haven't noticed it occur with any other web pages, it
only seems to happen when I publish from VC#.

Hmm verrry sterrange.

Pete,

AFAIK, the dev tools do not have any sort of adware installed, and I
would be surprized if they did, it's really not MS's style.

My first guess would be that you have some sort of malware installed on
your machine that targets FireFox. Not being familiar with the plug in
architecture of FireFox, I can't tell you where to look, but I would start
looking there.

Anyone else got this problem...

I'm using Visual C# Express Edition 2005... About 1 in 5 times when I
publish to a folder... Firefox launches as normal with links to the
published files... but 3 other tabs are opened with pages from Merge
Records, Caphyon Installer, and Google Mail...

I've tried a Lavasoft Adaware scan, but nothing was highlighted.

Does VC# EE 2005 have some kind of advertising feature built in, or is
this some type of adware?

thanks in advance,
Pete.
