What is wrong with my Internet?

Question

Whenever I am trying to go onto a website, it will work but this weird thing happens. Like every 10 seconds somthing will start to load and when I look in the corner on IE where it tells you waht they are loading, it says www.subtract.userplane .com and then slash something it doesnt give me time to read. Is this a virus

Answer 1

Download Spybot - Search and Destroy and SpywareBlaster. Update both programs, enable all protections in SpywareBlaster, "immunize" S - S&D, and run a scan.

Spybot - Search & Destroy: http://www.spybotupdates.com/files/spybo...

SpywareBlaster: http://www.download.com/SpywareBlaster/3...

If that doesn't take care of your problem, it's either:

1) Nothing to worry about, or

2) A virus. Which you need to worry about. Get an antivirus program like AVG (http://free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe) and scan your entire computer.

Answer 2

According to google that site doesn't exist,usually that means it's not a good thing to have on your computer.Run a scan with your anti-virus,anti-spyware and whatever else you have.

Answer 3

proberly spyware

Answer 4

http://subtracts.userplane.com/ is an advertising website. Like http://analytics.google.com, it is a link, image, or iframe embedded in a web page for advertising or tracking purposes.

It is very likely that this is part of the website you are trying to visit.  It is also likely that the website including this also includes many other affiliate links which would explain your issues with loading the page.

Get an adblocker like google or yahoo toolbar and add the address to the blocked sites and you should be able to clear up the problem.(If there is any actual content on the page, some sites are just a hodge-podge of affiliate links)

Answer 5

virus or spyware

Answer 6
