Is there a tribalfusion.com clone at work now?
 

Six months ago I followed the instructions given here on how to block tribalfusion.com, and enjoyed relatively easy access to Flyertalk. Until today.

It took me twenty minutes to get onto Flyertalk this morning. Not only am I now suddenly seeing ads I haven't seen for six months (oh what a blissful joy that was!), but one or more of the ads now wants to download Avenue A to my computer. This, naturally, triggers Spybot. When I tell Spybot to block Avenue A, the Flyertalk page freezes and refuses to load. Hitting refresh doesn't help.

So what has changed? Something certainly has.

Many websites trigger Spybot's reaction to Avenue A, and all load normally after I tell Spybot to block it. So why won't Flyertalk?

Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

(I'm a little reluctant to leave this site for fear I'll never get back in to see the answer!)

I haven't noticed any changes, nor seen anything about Avenue A.

Sounds like your computer is infected. Have you updated SpyBot recently?

This is not the place to post questions about how to block ads.

Enough said.

Nope, no infection here. Did a deep virus scan, plus ran Spybot and Ad Aware again.

Ad Aware detected a tribalfusion.com cookie, suggesting that tribalfusion.com has come up with a way around the block that many of us put on last year when we were having so much trouble accessing this site.

Apparently the problem is back. Any techies out there with some ideas on how to fix this? I simply can't go through hitting refresh 16-18 times again every time I want to change pages in FlyerTalk in hopes that one of them will go through.

LOL
