Do you know what this javascript does?

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</script>

Looks to me like it suppresses pop-ups. Maybe it's a way to prevent third-party advertising from causing your own web page to pop up ads?

[DVD Burner]

I'm sure you're not gonna tell me but where did you get that script from?

Is it a Popunder?

[Apollonaris Zeus]

I found that on my own web site index page. Except for one thing. I didn't put it there and It isn't on my computer where I design the pages. It wasn't on someone else computer where I tried to view the source and the computer at the college as well. It seems to be only on my computer when on download index pages. I use norton anti-popup programs, but it wouldn't place it on the page- I don't think.

This function worrys me the most because it look like a data miner of sorts:

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{ return (new Object()); }

It see this and the one on the main discussion headline post on the post a reply page of BM, Look it on the Discussion Forum page as this near the bottom.

And I find it on a multiple of other pages, google, the 2wire bandwidth testing page and more.

Do you see when you view the source code?

Norton does add to and remove javascript from pages before they get to your browser. Try clearing your cache, disabling Norton, and downloading it again. It will probably be gone.

[DVD Burner]

IMHO I dont care for Norton that much. especially for a popup stopper.
Google toolbar works perfect for me. Well, I do have a 128 bit ver of IE.
together it works perfect.

Firefox is killer also.

[TechKnow_shaman]

I have to agree about Firefox, awsome browser. Mozilla is great, a little laden with unneeded features though.

Down with IE

[Apollonaris Zeus]

OK now only part of it appears when I disable the Ad Blocker. So it is adding code to the page. I didn't realize that before. I knew one of you eplayans could figure something out.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

</script>

You guys rock- as in Blaaaack Roooock!
