Hey guys, here's the scoop:
I tried to connect to Bungie's homepage today (like I always do), but when I get there I get a screen that comes up and asks for me to sign in with my .NET passport. I think 'weird' - I told my browser (Firefox v 1.0) to remember stuff like that and sign in automatically so I don't have to mess with it. Now, behind the usual .NET sign in box, I see some of bungie's site - the bottom bar with the privacy statement, terms of use, code of conduct, etc. But the rest of the site won't come out.
What freaks me out is that the page keeps reloading - even if I don't touch a thing - it gets caught in like an endless reloading loop. And nothing I can do, short of pressing Escape stops it. If I put in my e-mail and pw, it just keeps reloading as if nothing happened - same thing if I click a link or if I try to access the forums directly via a link left in my history folder.
So I at first thought 'spyware', but my box is clean - full scans, new definitions - Spybot S&D and Adaware (with tea Timer running in the bg). A few things on the scans, but nothing serious, and nothing that mattered - I tried to connect again and nothing happened. Right now I'm logged in under my wife's profile and everything is working fine. So I have to deduce from that that the problem is local - confined to my machine.
Which means the soul still resides in its private ecto-plasmic containment unit in bungie's basement. What's scarier is that I think it may have possessed my profile - how do I exorcise it?
