  Chrome mmrtb.com redirect
Posted by: Excalibur - 15-02-2025, 10:00 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (7)

Having trouble getting rid of mmrtb.com. I believe its called a browser redirect. Lost a few hours chasing this over some weeks already, but it keeps coming back.
Defender overheats CPU so I've been reluctant to complete a full scan. Online ESET didn't find anything either as did Malwarebytes.
Deleted all extensions.
Is Spyhunter safe enough? It has a free trial.
Scanned registry for mmrtb: nothing.
Searched "This PC" :nothing
Thanks.

  Red seaweed cuts methane emissions

This may be a step forward to help pollution, being fed to cattle helps cut down on methane emissions.

Exclamation Russia strikes Chernobyl reactor

This is getting ridiculous now.
I suspect Putin is trying to provoke Ukraine into giving up, does not appear to have had any explosives onboard the drone.

Some images have emerged allegedly of Guantanamo bay. If this is geninely what's happening then there could be serious violations of their human rights; there's no access to either lawyers or the outside world. Dodgy

  And then they came for the pensioners...
Posted by: Lilith7 - 13-02-2025, 02:49 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (9)

Yes, it seems that our delighful & benevolent govt is to 'look' at superannuation, saying that it 'needs an overhaul'...I suspect that this will NOT involve any increase.
Aren't they just wonderfully resourceful - always thinking of new ways in which to help people. Mainly people like themselves & usually to the detriment of those on low incomes...

And no doubt 'action on the pension age' isn't going to involve lowering the age at which we become eligible. Probably just as well really, any announcement of this govt helping superannuitants might very well trigger multiple heart attacks across the country... Rolleyes

But with any sort of luck this just may be the thing which triggers Winnie to throw a massive berky...let it be so. Rolleyes Big Grin Big Grin

  Windows is really pushing people to sign into a microsoft account
Posted by: nzoomed - 12-02-2025, 01:00 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (4)

With the recent updates, im seeing more and more instances of windows asking to sign into a Microsoft without any apparent way to skip the process.
Ive found in the past you can just click on skip, but now im seeing that those options are unavailable. One workaround is alt+f4 or alt+ctrl+del and close the prompt, but as usual people are inadvertently registering a Microsoft account and forgetting their passwords, sigh...

Would be great if there was some way to block this from happening by means of the registry or potentially blocking through the hosts file, etc
