XI Wiki
Greetings,
Today or yesterday, I've noticed this on various webpages I visit now:
I did a scan with MSE but it didn't find anything. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in my installed programs. Any ideas? I think its some sort of ad related item as when I scroll over the indicated word, it pops up random crap to buy.

Oh, duh, sorry. I am using Chrome.
EDIT: Its defiantly something on my computer. My wife;s machine is identical and her web pages show up fine. Only recent change was install of SW:TOR last week. Recent install programs also show BitRaider Streaming Client (came with SW:TOR, read some uneasy things on this,maybe the culprit?) and two diff versions of Microsoft Visual C++
EDIT 2: lame, its some sort of Mmotraffic.com virus.. or DNSunlocker thing.. ugh. looking into removal
EDIT 3: its stuck in Chrome only, IE is fine. I'll update this tomorrow if I am stuck or if I fix it.
EDIT 4: I win. Got rid of it. It was DNSunlocker. Don't know how I got it, but its gone. Mod can close or delete this thread, since its basically me rambling.
