I hate to have to mute my computer

when 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?

I 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?

I 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.

I didn't get the music earlier but I got the malware. And I got a deleted thread for my troubles, too!

You got the Malware too Phyllis!?

I 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.

They don't like when you ask questions.

Why won't they tell us what the f*ck is going on!?

Oh great. You've doomed this thread with your asterisk. Well, I might as well go whole ******' hog then!

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.

Everytime 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.

It's the site. I set my computer back 3 days & was still happening. I'm reading up on El_Muhammad.

Thank you for that clarification. It was nice to read it while the thread is still here.

I 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.

Nothing'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.

You can't really screencap sound...

You 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.

That'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.
