Blot Brickworks Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 This text appears on my screen using both phoenix and SL viewers . Any idea what it is and more importantly , how do I get rid of it? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Kahanamoku Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Does it stay on your screen or just during login? It is what is called raw HTML which means that someone didn't code the HTML correctly. Or. that is what it looks like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's a part of the html page that is at the top. That zonkster Title shouldn't be there at all. It looks like your system has been compromised. If I had that, I'd remove the viewers from my computer, and everything associated with them, run a full anti-virus check and then install a viewer from scratch. ETA: it turns out that zonkster is "a short messaging service that lets users send IMs to any resident inworld from outside Second Life". So that bit is ok. If it's only on your screen for a short time, such as during logging in, I'd ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrie Juran Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Did you by any chance try and install a text only client for SL on your computer? One that allows you to IM without logging in? That is what Zonkster was. Note the Zonkster URL in that screen shot. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Zonkster http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/general-sl-discussion/31948-off-world-im-thing.html Are you able to log in at all? Oooops, My bad, you are logged in there. Still, very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Dilweg Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 It appearsa to me that that is only because the zonkster website is completely gone now. causing the error,. Zonzkster.com leads parked at godady to a defaULT PAGE. so thats why the error text is showing. there is no evil compromise User Slack Zapedzki was the author of Zonkster Update Firestorm or phoenix or just disable any of the zonkster products Odd that it is accessing the robots.text no follow instruction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blot Brickworks Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have uninstalled all viewers and got rid of all traces of SL.Ran a full scan antivirus and optimized my stuff.New updated driver stuff. I downloaded a fresh phoenix viewer but I still have the text.I looked to see see if perhaps I have something checked wrong in preferences but could find nothing. The text stays on the screen all the time! I am about running out of ideas?Thoughts?:matte-motes-not-even: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingoes Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Maybe It is the HTML mark of the site you open, it caused by the IE load error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This poster (lingoes) is brand spanking new - the ink is still wet. It's 3 posts don't properly fit the threads they are in and look like they will turn into affiliate links in the not too distant future - common method of forum spamming. I've reported it.
