No possible if you are inactive. You get auto logged off when you are inactive for about 15 minutes or so. That is one thing that seriously irritates me.
Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...
I highly doubt that ragezone has good control over their ads. The most control probably given to RZ is chosing which advertising complany. That advertising company decides which ads are chosen NOT ragezone. Thus you should take up the complaint with the advertising company and not ragezone. 'Nuff said.

Strange. It cant be a browser problem coz happens on them all. Need more thoughts on this from other members.
Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...

yeah they do, one of them tries to install a trojan to register what your shopping habbits are, ok fair enough not majorly worrying, but still a bit retarded really. surely theres another way to make money without these invasive adverts.

If you delete cookies then it probably wont auto log u into page, some people probably have ccleaner that does it automatically, or you can just set windows to do it automatically.

I can visit sites that would totally inundate a lesser machine. It's all in the configuration.
Yes most people know how to disable pop ups, but with some applications this can be a pain in the ass, chat applets, flash games all being disabled, some pop ups will still get through whatever, just depends how they've been written and linked to pages.

It's already been said that it only happens when people arent logged in, so subs or regular members, it only happens when you arent logged in.
The main problem is you dont get a chance to log in before the adverts start popping up. on the homepage theres ads if you're not logged in I believe.

Thats news to me =o as its never happend to me either. Have you taken a breeze through your internet settings ?
Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...
Only get a popup when I first visit RZ, that's if I'm not logged in. It's nothing big.

Yep did that. They are all fine. It's not with the browser. Most sites do have an auto-log off option for idle users to increase forum speed. I guess the same is the case with RZ.

No, as we're talking about how u get ads ie if you logged out u get em, if not u don't :p.
But in all honesty it's not really a virus in the true sense of the word, more a bit of spyware, which is a bit gay, but in all honesty doesnt really put your computer at much risk.

Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...
Well I fixed my problem. The pop-up does not show up anymore but still the 1st try to log on does not succeed.
EDIT: I miss the hooker ad :(
Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...
i do get popas from ragezone if not logged in.
when i double click so that i can choose my user with the mouse. when i do the double click i get a random porn popup
Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...
What was the name of the virus you got when this happend?
Virtusomething?
Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...
ragezone popups crashed my computer and it wouldn't boot up and it cost me 600 dollars to get the problem fixed and all i do is go here hotmail and RZL2
Re: Ad's with virus's? come on ragezone...
I've had many players (from Lineage) complaining to me in game about viruses in the popups here too. "Why is ragezone trying to give me a virus" --
Even though its not ragezone itself, if you get the popups when you visit it does seem so. Most people aren't that savvy to know they need to use firefox or a pop-up blocker, or that its not really a big deal. If they see their virus scanner go off, they think only: Ragezone is giving me a virus.
So if you log in and don't get them, sure it might not be a big deal to you, I am logged always when I come to ragezone too.
However perhaps it does deserve more than a "well doesn't happen to me" as the number of complaints seems to be increasing.
(At least now I suppose I have some things to tell those who ask me about it)
