Hey there, i have since friday, been having some strange occurrences when logging into hotmail via safari 3.2.1.
Basically a few moments after logging in, the screen jumps to a page showing a banner ad for perfumegirls.co.uk. its just a banner ad at the top of the safari window and that is all.
today it has been quiet and i thought that maybe it had stopped, however, i have just logged in and almost immediately it jumped to this ad. i tried on a windows machine using explorer and did not have this issue.
any ideas?
im a new user and am staring to get a bit paranoid about this, especially as about the time this started i confirmed my paypal status etc and made a purchase online. the more i explore the more names get thrown at me such as rootkits etc!
i would be interested ot hear if anyone lese has had similar problems and if maybe a clean install would be a good idea? and maybe, just maybe i should stop this paranoid thinking!
thanks
