You said you get a full screen video captured my computer so I interpreted that as saying you get the video in Full Screen mode. Hitting F11 is a toggle between full screen and normal screen mode. From the browser, hit F11 and see what happens. Now reading what you're saying, this is not your problem. So, you have to tell me what you mean by an 'attacking' video? Yes, on that site [and on others], the video plays automatically. Thats the way the site was designed and the way wmp works. Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no way to turn off the automatic start of a wmp video without hitting the stop button on the video controls. So, maybe you need to give a little more info about what exactly is your problem. F11 toggles nothing. The video plays full screen. There are no video controls displayed to hit the stop button. If there is a stop button on this (or any other) web site and the video autoplays instantaneously, I doubt that I would know in time to stop it. In this case, WMP does not start in a visible way. The monitor screen just drops to black and a few seconds later the video starts. The questions remains, how to a) stop an instantaneous video from running without my explicit action to start it, or how to stop such a video during play. All I want is to be able to regain control of the computer and not have to wait until a video ends or until I shut down the computer. lets try it this way. This is what I see when I visit that site: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1678/wmpah0.jpg On the bottom right is a flash vid that won't start until I click it. On the bottom left is a wmp vid that starts automatically when I go to that page. As you can see, I have controls on the bottom of the vid to stop, start, and so forth. Is this what you see? If not, then post an image somewhere of what you get and we'll go from there. Yes Peter, That is what I see for less than two seconds. Not enough time for me to get the cursor to that (sub)menu bar and hit stop. Certainly not enough time to even know what or where to look if I am a first time visitor. Of course, by now, I am not a first timer. Nonetheless, once this video starts, I cannot stop it. This is NOT about this particular sales pitch on this site. I am not intentionally going back to this site again, but I have concern about this happening again on another site. That is what I am asking help about. How can I stop/escape this type of behavior (elsewhere) once it starts? I want to be able to take back control of my computer. How to do this? That is the question. well for a first timer, I'm sure that if they'd scroll down, then I'm sure they'd see where this voice was coming from, and which video was playing. Then if they click on the video controls, they could stop it. Or if they right click on it, then it would bring up the advanced controls and they can stop it from there. Why you can't figure out that some sort of video is playing, and which video is playing, I have no idea. Why you are unable to click on the vid stop button, again I have no idea. Peter, The reason you have no idea is because you will not accept what I have described. I used another computer and saw what you must be seeing. On that other computer I can F11 to toggle image size, and I can click on the left screen where this e image emanates. I can right click and stop it. But, NOT on my main computer.

I am not intentionally going back to this site again, but I have concern about this happening again on another site. That is what I am asking help about. How can I stop/escape this type of behavior (elsewhere) once it starts? I want to be able to take back control of my computer. How to do this? That is the question. well for a first timer, I'm sure that if they'd scroll down, then I'm sure they'd see where this voice was coming from, and which video was playing. Then if they click on the video controls, they could stop it. Or if they right click on it, then it would bring up the advanced controls and they can stop it from there. Why you can't figure out that some sort of video is playing, and which video is playing, I have no idea. Why you are unable to click on the vid stop button, again I have no idea. Peter, The reason you have no idea is because you will not accept what I have described. I used another computer and saw what you must be seeing. On that other computer I can F11 to toggle image size, and I can click on the left screen where this e image emanates. I can right click and stop it. But, NOT on my main computer. As I have repeatedly said, this video image emerges full screen (and not from the small left screen) with no way of controlling it at all. Since I have the same experience with IExplorer. WMPlayer is messed up.I have removed WMPlayer. As a result, the left hand screen image on this horrible web
How does this work?
Seamonkey 1.1.14, WinXP Pro SP3 I received an e-mail from a professional organization that provided a link to a website. http://newsletter.swd.ca/link.php?M=98038N=220L=119F=H When I clicked the link, a full screen video captured my computer. No way to stop it (without shutting off the computer). These did not work: Ctrl Break, ctrl+alt+delete, esc, enter, tab, f1-f8, you name it, I was captive. How do I stop this type of behavior (besides never clocking on any link)? How do I prevent the take over of my computer when browsing or at least escape from it? Obviously AV and firewalls did not work, nor spybot/teatimer. Suggestions? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Is that what you're talking about? When your browser opened, it opened in full screen, with no menus, etc? If so, then you didn't go all the way with the F keys. Its F11 to change it back. Also, you might want to check your javascript settings: Edit, Preferences, Advanced, Scripts Plug-ins, and uncheck Move or resize existing windows, and Raise or lower windows. -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help Emails to me may become public Notice: This posting is protected under the Free Speech Laws, which applies everywhere in the FREE world, except for some strange reason, not to the mozilla.org newsgroup servers, where your posting may get you banned.
