 |

I recently received an email from some bozo, thinking that everyone is so doped up they can't see or don't care what they're clicking on!
If you get an email that has the domain below in it somewhere don't click it or go to that site, there are a lot of reports of phishing, scams & spam.
The email in question was from:
| Asheley Kiss <Asheley_pink@yahoo.com> wrote: | | Re: Ashley has invited you to view a photo album on Yahoo! Photos. |
And the base address was from: http://home.doramail.com
So it would be a good idea to add that address to your spam filter, url blocker or whatever you use to keep your browser in line.
Also, if anyone needs a little extra help taming their machines wanderings - here is good place to start:
http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/
That site has a list of potentially dangerous url's that it uses for a 'host' or domain blocking file, part of the DNS domain lookup the computer can use to help direct it to the right place when you click on stuff.
So, surf safe @ www.antivirus.com and be aware of what you click on!

Since it's only lately that it's happening, it may be from a recently installed program.
You may have some software installed thats doing that, not all software providers are honorable - so they add popup programs to increase traffic for there sponsors sites.
You might need to review the licenses on the software you have installed, by law they have to tell you they are going to install extra stuff.
Thats probably why your virus scanner can't find anything, cuz its actually a legit ad program.
You may also look in your Task Manager Processes to see if anything else is running that you don't know about installing or doesn't look familiar.
