thank you all so much! I think I am just going to just download Opera or stick w/ Firefox from now on. Basically what happened was a sniping a codestone & when I went into the shop, I clicked it, but it redirected me to another page in a pop-up, then quick flashed to something weird (a Neopets warning of somesort - I couldn't read it since it was so quick), then it flashed me to some other user's shop that said their account was frozen. I quick then logged out, logged back in & changed my p-word. I was so nervous though that I logged out, then ran over to another comp in the house & changed my p-word again on there! haha Since then I've downloaded an anti-virus & spyware locator (I have a Mac so I always though I didn't need one!), and found a virus on my computer. Luckily, no spyware though. I can't seem to find a keyscrambler though for Safari. So I will prob just use Opera instead, or Firefox. Thank you again all so much for your concern! And my nm is cleared now so I should be ok to chat! PS. So, if I did those steps am I def ok, or is there now something on my comp that the hacker can now see anything I type? Even if I just logged out, changed my p-word, and logged back in - is that enough?

Heya all, I just wanted to report that I found 2 more CG attempts tonight while restocking and sniping. Both were cheap codestones that led offsite, and noscript caught both of the scripts that were attached. I did actually make it to the obnoxious scammer offsite image in one case, although I *think* all of the scripty evils were blocked because the little cross-script-attempt bar popped up, and the new site showed as blocked. Despite the catch I still logged off, logged back on, and changed words, PINs, etc. (Just to be sure... I don't know if I'm being paranoid or sensible.) :K Please continue to be careful when wiz sniping, and make sure to turn noscript back on if you had it off!

OK I don't understand one thing in No-Script. How do you know IF there was a hacking attempt? On every page of Neopets there are TONS of blocked scripts simply because of the ads. So do you just allow all of the ad sites? In order to recognize a user page that uses an offsite .js file you would need to allow all of the ads. So should I?

Does this address look right? http://home.neopets.com/templates/homepage.phtml?pet_name=ChEeKeEpOo60 It is a page with backgrounds that looks like a petpet page. I don't know how my daughter found it but it is in my bookmarks as a neopets graphic page. EDIT: Okay, it is a pet page on neopets (I searched the name) http://www.neopets.com/~ChEeKeEpOo60 Is the first site address how a person who is not logged into neopets would get to the page? _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

i think that the first link was how they used to link to petpages, ages ago, but then they changed it :) People outside can see the ~petname one :)

Just reading the mall openings and could not see a banner so I put the address into my browser and it blocked the site as an attack site in FireFox: http://www.cpi4u.com/neopets/nbad.gif Anyone know what's wrong with cpi4u? It is hosting images for The Market Place which is a pretty reputable mall: http://www.neopets.com/~UniquePenguin _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

It could be a free host but google doesnt really say it's bad though. Just some site advisors warn against free hosts since free hosts are often used to host viruses and other crap stuff.
