Looks like we've been targeted. Make sure the mythal isn't compromised Alaundo!

Someone should tell the Emerald Sage that Elminster doesn't need viagra.

My laptop is 4.5 years old and the harddrive is about 3 years old...plus with the amount of abuse it gets between me carrying it everywhere and then the little ones (not my own, but kids in my family who are under 5 years old and have no concept of how to treat electronics other than slapping/throwing the device), I'm surprised it's survived this long! And I haven't seen the ads today, so maybe it was just a fluke. (I haven't done a scan disk/defrag since June, so it wasn't something on my end).

All of those things could be symptoms of malware.

I see no ads at all when I visit the 'Keep, and I do so from multiple devices, browsers, and operating systems.

Seems odd to only get ads when on one site, but I'm guessing it's something on your end. Have you tried from another browser?

Well met


Just spotted it, George. Appears that a Scribe has been hacked, rather than a new spammer account. Posts removed and account locked down until I can inform the scribe.

Many thanks.
