Pop Up log in Request

Post by Spinner »

I keep getting a request for login information from "airlinercrew.net" when I go to open a forum post.

When I cancel the request it moves on as normal. I don't really trust it much.

Sounds like some kind of spyware or virus on your computer. Either that or their website have been infected. If you're running a genuine copy of Windows XP, leave the computer over night and run Windows Defender in Full Scan mode. Also, try running a full system anti-virus scan. Under Firefox, you can look at all the cookies that your web browser have kept. If you see something weird, delete the cookie.

reported it to Joe. It was only doing it on a couple of posts and seemed to go away later in the day.

Computer is well protected and cleaned of cookies often. Not sure what it may have been.
