Spyware on this site? [no]
For the last couple of days, when the forums section of this website opens up, right next to the techexams.net logo, there's always a **** advert. You know the kind that you see on **** sites. And the ****'s pretty explicit. Not sure whether this is my computer only. I just did a full kaspersky scan and my PC came out clean....Johann???

There definitely isn't any spyware attached to techexams.net.IT guy since 12/00
Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands... -

Yeah, site is clean buddy.
Install and update, Ad-aware, spybot, Spysweeper and Spyware Doctor. Reboot into safe mode and run them all. Then use hijackthis.exe to remove anything that doesn't look like it belongs in your startup.

Yeah, I am sure that this site's clean as a whistle. But seeing that stuff was a shock. Taking nothing away from the webmaster and the moderators, they do a great job running this. You can imagine the shock if u see that kinda stuff on a respected site.
From all what yer all say, I guess there is some kind of spyware on my machine...
