Hi All For a week or so now I have been starting up my laptop in the office and receiving a immediate pop-up spam add.
Havinf all filters turned on including security, popups and cookies I was going nuts trying to figure out how I had became infected with a url transfer spam program in my Linux box. Thanks to a posting on another list I was able to ascertain that what is happening is that a router company has initiated an add campain of popups through their routers. The URL that always appears is: http://filter.belkin.com/setup.asp?SN=BEL13KK0&RP=21456&IP=192.168.0.2&FV=2.00.04 which is a Belkin Router add. The following story explains the situation: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/11/07/1740205&tid=153 My solution to this issue is to post notices on all know BB that if you buy Belkin products expects spam from Belkin.
