Next time you use sites that can contain "questionable" banners and ads, just run your browser sandboxed

Maybe just a stupid a$$ move on my part by clicking on something on that page that I should not have clicked on.

I friggen hate download sites that crypically hide the actual file DL with a more larger DOWNLOAD!!!! link that F's up your machine.

Just a word of caution for anyone using that site.

soon as the ad page starts i hit back and the dl starts, thanx still for the heads up.

There's a small tutorial on sandboxing here. Just read that page to get an idea of how it works:

I could send you to some other places for a more in-depth description of what it does, but that link above gives you an overall idea

Alternatively you could just use Firefox with Adblock plus installed and you won't ever see those banner ads or need to worry about them. Though sandbox is even safer method.

I looked at a brand new 6.5 Stock ROM from sprint with 1.96 as the Radio.

I bought my TP2 last week and it has 2.32.00WF

Also, if you have Win7 Profesional and a multi core CPU, you can run it in XP mode. ALA sandbox in a virtual machine. XP mode for Win7 is a free download from microsoft.

Regarding the spyware and exe's not working. uh oh.. sounds like a bad case of "windowsxp/vista security suite". Its a bugger of a trojan loaded with spyware that is a PITA to get rid of.

Hope you get it worked out. btw, if you get a popup that tells you to buy the "premium" edition to clean your computer, DON't! Your credit card will be at the mercy of the idiot who infected your computer.

or set up a virtual machine using VirtualBox or VirtualPC

I don't believe this has anyhting to do with banner ads. I like to think I am pretty computer saavy.

Looking back at this mess, I firmly believe that it was a situation of not paying attention enough, and simply clicking on the wrong download link that was presented to me.
