Title: J5:istbar
Post by: SUSZANNAH on January 20, 2005, 01:20:55 PM

Hi gang. I have looked in search but can't find the answer to this one,  my daughter picked up the J5:Istbar virus the other day, Avast cleared to chest no problem, as they were temporary internet files I deleted them, my query is, I keep everything set to default, my script blocker flashes up from time to time so I know it's working, on this occasion in by browser window I had a lot of scripts come up, it looked lie a sex dialer, how to I tighten script blocker and leave everything else to default, is that possible ??? thanks.......SUSZ

Try the search again using JS:Istbar not the J5 (J five), you will find lots of hits. The JS part stands for Java Script

Thanks for that, did find Istbar in google, but why did it come up as scripts? removed it, but do I need to do anything to stop getting again? The scripts were on  a keyboard tabs site  :)

Edid: I can use google, but sometimes can't always understand things sorry  :)

I should have made it a little more clear (I thought you were talking about the forum search). I was talking about the forum search as this has been covered a few times.
