What the heck?

Post by toes in the sand »

What the heck is up with the site? When I open it I get a continual stream of pages being opened in my taskline. I have watched at least a dozen pages being opened to http\\edge.sharethis.com or something like that.

It is only on my computer at work and only on virgin-islands-on-line.com It does not actually open pages in my screen but runs the script "opening page http\\edge.sharethis.com.............
It runs this at least a dozen time. I just wonder if there is an ad on the page that is causing this.

Me too. I can't hit "back." If I do, it doesn't page back, and in the area where it shows your recent pages, it says "share this."

I tried to PM Anthony, but it won't "send." I'm going to log off.

Thank heavens that lprof is helping me keep things sorted... :)

It was the ShareThis icon - I got rid of it altogether... doesn't seem like anyone is going to miss it. Let me know if you do -

Thanks Anthony, I was worried of either virus or that you went rogue and VIOL was collecting data from my computer. I wont miss the share this icon.
