How do you block a website from sending info through Mozilla Firebird? I use
Firebird as a browser and players from www.outwar.com will send a message
though to ask a link to be clicked to help them in this game. I've already
clicked 'report this spammer' numerous time but they're still coming
through. It's like the outwar player sends a url though and changes the url
I'm currently looking at regardless of what page I'm on. I'm running the
popup blocker in Firebird as well as Pop-Up Stopper from Panicware, Inc to
stop pop up ads but this something that takes place of the web page I'm
looking at. Sorry if that didn't make any sense. Thanks for all your help.

You are out of my experience here, but this sounds like more of a job
for a firewall than a browser. Are you running any kind of firewall
already?

We're running the normal firewall that comes with Windows XP.

I'm unclear exactly how this is working. Are you participating in a
game on that web site? And just how are these intrusions showing up on
your browser? As a pop-up message? Or are they part of the gaming
environment?

An off-topic note. In your signature you should include a space after
the double-dashes (that's standard convention). Newsreaders will then
automatically strip out the signature in subsequent replies. As in your
answer to Lee Jones' his sig was stripped out. Helps prevent endless
repetition of sigs throughout a thread.

Not a pop up and I'm not participating in the game. Think of it like this.
you're looking at a website right now and then the page loads and it's the
player trying to get support from www.outwar.com.

Thanks about the heads up. I'm still a little new at the ng_sig thing. Is
that a little better? ^___^

Ok. I re-read your original post more carefully. You can be on any
page in your browser and some gamer sends you a message asking for help.
Where does that message appear? I'm guessing one of the following is
happening here:

1. You have some service running on your machine which is letting this
happen.

2. You (or someone using your computer) registered on that site at some
time and your ID is still active and available.

From the web site's spam policy:

******************

Outwar prohibits its members from using spam and other forms of Internet

Certain off-line activities that, while not considered spam, are similar

Ummm, no!

Look at my sig. It begins with hyphen hyphen space, then a carriage
return, then the sig info. It's "-- " not "--". And not any other two
characters other than the hyphen.

Have you checked the computer for spyware programs? Maybe? I don't
understand what this link looks like.

Still to understand for me is where these messages appear. Are they
coming up in a browser window? In an instant messaging window? In
email? Are you running Microsoft Messenger? Are you running some
peer-to-peer software like Kazaa?

As another poster suggested, get a spyware/adware checking program and
run it. The two most popular ones are:

Adaware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/

Just read the documentation carefully and don't automatically delete
everything that might be flagged by a scan. Sometimes things are flagged
that are either benign or that you might actually want to have present.

I keep coming back to the idea that there is some service/program
running on your system that is enabling this behavior that you aren't
aware of.

Also, if this problem is happening consistently, try disabling
javascript and Java in Preferences - Advanced for both your email and
browser and see if that stops this.

Final thought. If the initial inquiry/message that causes the problem is
always coming from www.outwar.com, you can add that entry in your Hosts
file and block access completely.

This has to be most interesting problem I've seen in a long time!

If a man stands in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no
woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

I'm not running any P2P programs at all and I use Lavasoft Ad-aware 6 twice
a day.

In regards to how they come up. It's like someone sends a message through to
my web browser as if I wanted to go to there site but haven't made the
action myself.

I think that's what I was trying to find out. How would I do that.
