Yup, it's cuz you went to a site requiring Java. Like the prior answer said, uninstall it if you don't need it, but most many sites uses them.\n\nP.S. to view what Java you've got on your pc: \nClick START => RUN => then type Control Panel.  \nLook for the coffee cup (java) and double click it. \nClick [Setting] located towards the bottom right of the Java Control Panel. \nOn the Temporary File Settings, you can view the Java apps or Delete them.

If you use a VPN, perhaps to connect to your company or workplace network remotely, that's it.  If there is VMWare Workstation or a similar software suite on your computer, it will show up as this. Basically it is a logical network connection, or a software channel that acts like a physical adapter.

Dangerous programs only get on your computer when you run something, so be careful what you download and run.\n\nThe purpose of Browser Hijackers is usually for the attacker to make money off ads.\n\n"68.2.16.30.53" is not an IP, and makes no sense...but 68.0-15.X.X are IPs owned by Cox Communications Inc. (Looks like an internet prover based in Atlanta).\nhttp://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=!%20NET-68-0-0-0-1\n\nI should point out, you would NEVER see the IP of an attacker from a Browser Hijack. He doesn't connect to you, nor do you connect back to him. It just controls your browser.

Iggy is right, and if you open it you are in trouble.  It's just a scam to get into your privacy and attach a virus or worse.  When you see these popups, just click on the x in the upper right corner.  That is until you get your popup blocker set.

Sounds like spyware or adware that has taken up residence in your computer without your knowing. These come in secretly through the internet. One way to protect against it is to run a scan to find these and remove. One of the better solutions is Spybot - Search & Destroy [ http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html ] run that program and you may be suprised how much stuff is running on your computer you did not know about.

Its unlikely that its on the banks server but not impossible. The connection between your friends pc and the bank should be a secure connection to a secure server. So the odds are that its something on your friends pc.\nUnfortunately there is no security suite or program that will give you 100% protection if you're connected to the net, so its possible that something slipped past.\nYour friend needs to update his security programs at least once a week and run them regularly.\nI'd suspect something on his web browser. You can use the free version of Spyware Doctor to scan, you get it from\nwww.pctools.com\nIf it does find anything it won't remove it until you've paid for the program; but it will give the name and filepath so you can copy that info and look elsewhere for the solution.\nSpywareblaster works with Internet Explorer. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to I.E. So once your friend has checked out his system he can install it for more peace of mind in the future.\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\nOne thing that does concern me is that Internet Explorer should have alerted him to the fact that the pop up was from a different address than the banks page. Get him to check his security settings in I.E, by going to \ntools - internet options - security and checking that the level is set to Medium. Some malware reset the settings to Low and then you're in trouble. If you click the Custom button you can choose different settings, and you can return them to the default if you realise you've got them wrong.

m_strFullPath, this is a window member variable, which means that someone has most probably placed a Trojan (virus type which allows someone free access to your computer) on your system, up date your anti virus and run a scan.\n\nYou can try and let the police know, but these kinds of people make themselves very hard to trace, they hid behind arrays of proxy's and gateway computer. The only way to be truly safe is to disconnect, the Internet is one of the worlds most powerful tools and most dangerous weapons.

It's spy or adware downloaded from that site.  You may have to start computer in safe mode and remove it from the registry.  Some virus scans remove adware or spyware, so try scanning your computer.  Hope this helps, and stay out of porn sites, it will rot your mind.

i would double check first and download an alternative anti-spy like the free Adware. maybe you should also consider an upgrade to xp.

Your question is of two parts: lock symbol and privacy report. \n\nLock Symbol: This is nothing but visual representation of a secured website. Lock symbol tells you that the website you are looking at is secured and encripted. Its a good thing so dont worry. For example, when you are purchasing something online, the webpage that asks your payment info or your personal info should be encripted and secured.\n\nPrivacy Report: Here is some information from Internet Explorer help files about privacy report.\n"The Privacy Report in Internet Explorer enables you to: view the P3P privacy policy for a Web site, find out if a Web site might contain information provided by a third-party Web site (a Web site other than the one you are viewing), or find out if Internet Explorer restricted any cookies from the Web site you are viewing.\nTo view the Privacy Report..In Internet Explorer click on the View menu, click Privacy Report." - courtesy :- Internet Explorer Help file.\n\nHope this information was helpful.

intrigued by your question, i added it to my watchlist.. and a minute later, i found something hat mght interest you..\n\nthe following question was asked..\n \n\nGeneral - Computers & Internet \n\nkayla p\n\n\nDoes anyone know any sites to get around bloaked sites at school like myspace?\ni need help my school blocked myspace and i really wanna get on it does anyone know of any sites to get passed it? \n\nand the following answer was given..\n\ndwightl.g.\n\n\n ★★ BYPASSING SECURITY ★★\n\n◙ You should stop trying to bypass security right now. They are listening in on this conversation with a key logger program that records everyone of your keystrokes. This key logger can email them a report if they are away from work.\n\n◙ Do you think I'm kidding you? Here they are....\n\n☞ http://www.google.com/search?q=key+logge...\n\n◙ PRAY they aren't using this mean little bugger. It is impossible to get past. It's what the US Military and US Inteligence services use. It not only stops you from going to certain sites but also records everyone of your key strokes. They can even get screen shots to see what the screen looks like while you are looking at it. It makes no recognizable files on your hard drive so you can't find or delete it. I'm sure glad I don't have to put up with that. :(\n\n☞ WebWatcher http://www.awarenesstech.com/general/?si...\n\n☞ WebWatcher For Kids http://www.webwatcherkids.com/
