Logging onto the "bored" tonight, I noticed that A LOT of words in both the main text of the forums, and the text of every thread contain hyperlinks (is that the word?) to a <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=search engine&v=56">search engine</a> called ntsearch.

Is this one of the "improvements" to the board, or have I been infected with adware/a virus? I'm actually kinda hoping it's the latter. It's really, mind-numbingly, frickin annoying.

For instance, at the top of this page, where it says "Korean <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=Job&v=56">Job</a> Discussion Forums," the word Job contains a link to this meagre ntsearch webpage. Arrghh! How do I stop this? And if this is intentional, later.

Nevermind; it's gone now.

Maybe it was all just a flashback from the poisonous gases I inhaled the other night.

It's also possible that you're stuck in a David Cronenberg movie. That would explain the insecticide hallucinations.

If your computer turns into a giant bug, do not listen to it. The same goes for anything your tv might try to tell you.

And the Blondie girl is just trouble. Stay away from her if she shows up.

OFF- Topic forum is incredibly boring at the moment, its actually the worst I've ever seen it in a year and a half. Anyone agree? i mean just look at those numbingly dumb threads...I think the reason is, they wrecked it by subdividing it up into more forums recently.
I've noticed also severe problems with posting on here today and yesterday: you get logged out constantly, I post and then it dissapears, even the whole format was jumping about today...when will they stop messing around with this thing?????

It's actually a browser hijacking program.

Pretty subtle, and friggin annoying as all hell.

Google for "ntsearch.com hijack removal".

If it's gone now, great.

But I recommend you give it a shot anyways.

jae.
