CurlyWhirly Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 That's a strange error :blink: It doesn't seem to be an exclusive Firefox problem either as you said Internet Explorer is also affected?The only thing I can think of is a corrupted Windows file somewhere?p.s. I wonder if it could be malware related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it could be malware related?It is a strange error. It can be quite annoying on pages with many ads.Firefox, and IE both have the same problem, so yes it must be a Windows problem. I know I have corrupted files, because I corrupted them. I did so knowing what I was doing and why I was doing it though.I doubt it is malware, but I'll run my usual checkup, and check out my HJT log just to be sure.

thomasa93 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I must say that does NOT sound like an Adblock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMTNT Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I believe that password prompt may be from Thunderbird.I have been getting them too since the 1.5.0.7 update. I found this on the MozillaZine forum.http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.ph...mpt&start=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 a.as-us.falkag.net is an ad server. You should be able to block these in your hosts file or by reinstalling your adblocker and adding that domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 ...another thing to try would be deleting all internet/firefox temp stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
