#1I hate to have to mute my computer
Posted: 4/27/09 at 9:36pmwhen visiting Broadwayworld. But now I see I don't even have to be logged in to get that relentless Middle Eastern music. I started a thread about it this morning that was deleted, not sure if THE ANNOYING MIDDLE EASTERN MUSIC is a "forbidden topic," but I just discovered that I don't even have to be logged in here for the music to play. So, how long before this thread disappears but the music doesn't?

Posted: 4/27/09 at 9:46pmI don't hear it but I get the damn plugin pop-up every hour or so. I PMed Rob about it but he doesn't seem to give a damn. My thread about Fromage was also deleted. Are the two in cahoots? Could it be her PLAYING the terrible music?

Posted: 4/27/09 at 9:48pmI was just looking for that thread about fromage. Did we ever figure out where she went?

I was getting that pop-up too, which disappeared and then the music started. I am not sure if something installed itself on my computer, but when I asked this morning if anybody else was still getting the music the thread was deleted.

Posted: 4/27/09 at 9:56pmI didn't get the music earlier but I got the malware. And I got a deleted thread for my troubles, too!

#9i hate to have to mute my computer
Posted: 4/27/09 at 10:06pmI assumed I didn't get any malware but now I am wondering if the music is part of it. And since I'm on a Mac, I haven't dealt with this issue before. And then I asked for info in my thread this morning and then it was deleted.

I started getting the plug in warning then a few days later the middle eastern guys started singing. At first the WMA would open it an d I could just click it off. It then it just started playing with no control widow opening and played until I closed the thread window. I too am on a Mac and have never had these problems before.
It seems gone now.

Posted: 4/27/09 at 10:33pmEverytime I think it's gone, it happens again. But there's never a pop up window. So I would love to try to find a way to know if it's now my computer's problem or this site's. If it's the former, I will not be very happy.
#17i hate to have to mute my computer
Posted: 4/27/09 at 10:39pmIt's the site. I set my computer back 3 days & was still happening. I'm reading up on El_Muhammad.

Posted: 4/27/09 at 10:47pmThank you for that clarification. It was nice to read it while the thread is still here.
#19i hate to have to mute my computer
Posted: 4/27/09 at 10:52pmI think this might have to do with that site hacker, El_muhammed, but I'm not sure. It just seems like it would. Because over the weekend, I tried getting on here once, and that popped up instead.

It is El_Muhammad. Here is a list of the sites he's infected, BWW isn't on it though.

Posted: 4/27/09 at 10:58pmNothing's showing up wonky on the server end here... If someone can send me a screenshot or other info on what they're experiencing am happy to take a look and float it over to our server folks though.

Posted: 4/27/09 at 10:59pmYou can't really screencap sound...
#23i hate to have to mute my computer
Posted: 4/27/09 at 11:01pmYou can screencap what's on the screen though so I can see if it's a noisy banner on one of our ad networks again or any other visible clues though.

Posted: 4/27/09 at 11:15pmThat's geek to me! "Screencap"? Maybe one of the smarter people having the issue can do it. Just let us know if we need to do anything on our end (in as baby steps as you can manage) to make it stop.
