Thanks If the Washington Post is featuring ads for Ads by Savings Bull, I don't think SeaMonkey can do anything about that, however if you install MBAM Malware Blaster Anti-Malware, than update its DataBase and do a scan, you might be able to get rid of your other problem. -- Daniel User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.24 Build identifier: 20140131082240 or User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.25 Build identifier: 20140211195952 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks Sounds like you have managed to get one of those nasty drive-by installs that has put an ad-bot on your computer. Check for malware, and take a look at all your add-ons too.

Not seeing that here. This is why when I buy a computer I insist on a Windows install disk. And the first thing I do when I get the PC home is re-format the hard drive and re-install a clean Windows. Yeah, I know, not for the faint-of-heart. Still. I don't want all that crap manufacturers put on PCs.
