Virus?

[silgryphon]

Smiths, do you have an idea of what Brightcove.admin is? If so how do you get rid of it. It keeps preventing me from entering sites. Like a popup

Is it brightcove.admin or admin.brightcove.com? The reason being is admin.brightcove is a hosting service, likely for an ad here. Now that I'm back to work, I may actually spend the money to take the place ad-free.

admin.brightcove.com


It's an annoying ad. If I click back two times the site comes back

Firefox - tools - add ons- get add ons - search for Ad Block Plus.

I haven't seen an ad in Firefox in YEARS... part of why I haven't spent money to get rid of ads here.

Add this to Ad Block as a filter: block resources.infolinks.com/js/infolinks_main.js.

In the extension filter?

Ad block plus seemed to have block it for now

silgryphon: resources.infolinks.com/js/infolinks_main.js.

Go to the ABP button in Firefox, select filter preferences. In filter preferences, choose the custom filters tab. On the custom filters tab, select the ad blocking rules and click the "actions" button, choosing the "show/hide" option. Once in that window, add in the items you want to filter, such as the resources.infolinks.com/js/infolinks_main.js. or admin.brightcove.com and it will block those out.

silgryphon: I don't know what you were using for a browser, but I've been using Firefox with ABP for over 5 years and I haven't had a creepy-crawler over the last 3 computers I've owned. 2 ThinkPads and my present HP Pavilion. I don't know what antivirus or antimalware or computer you're running, but the free versions of avast and Malwarebytes kick ass. I do a boot scan weekly with avast and a full scan with Malwarebytes weekly.

I also use Ccleaner nightly.
