FH is making my kaspersky go nuts with some google syndication ad thing. Happens on pretty much every page.

Sounds like a dodgy add from google, can you get a screenie?

 

[ST^]

It's not a dodgy ad, just kaspersky giving false positives.

Don't see anything from google on the page ;/

It sounds like advert bollocks (blockable in firefox) are messing with your AV software. Best bet and best for overall security against the unregulated online advertising industry is to install firefox and block the scripts and adware, or tell your AV software that they are ok. They aren't usually malicious and shouldn't affect your browsing (though all sorts can be hidden in images, a few people lost WoW accounts to keyloggers embedded in Jpegs on gaming web sites) but they are nosey and do not ask permission to collect data, only way to opt out is to install add ons.
Waiting for something that sends the advertising scummers false information, rather than just blocking them.

Google will be selling the ad space I imagine, does FH use google ads?

It does sparsely if you're not a subscriber.

If this is just a FH problem, you could always subscribe?

Yep the best solution is not not be a cheapskate, and give Deebs beer money so that he never sobers up. If he were to sober up he might visit these forums, realise what he has spawned, and delete the lot.

 

[MYstIC G]

I thought only brooky did that?

 

[Scouse]

It's Kapersky
