Nifty Stats Pro - Thanks For the Porn Popup...

11-10-2010, 06:54 AM

Monday morning I noticed an annoying full page porn popup coming up about every hour.

So I run Spybot and nothing comes up. After reading for a few hours about this "virus" that kept popping up I just thought I was wasting too much time on it.

I then backed up my files/projects to my laptop, about 90gb worth of data... taking about 2 hours to transfer back and forth between the laptop and pc.

I then formatted and installed a clean version of Windows 7. Followed by Visual Studio, Sql Server, Office, all the goodies etc... Setting up a development machine is not as simple as sticking in a restore disc... So basically took a perfectly running system and redid it losing a full days worth of work.

Much to my dismay, this morning I got the damn popup again. I spent another hour or so looking up what this popup could be... I've never seen spyware survive a clean install, I was amazed.

The next time the popup came up, I decided to take a closer look at it.

Here is the pop as it displays, always a different ad, always fullscreen:

First thing I noticed, was that it wasn't an internet explorer window... hmmm, so I looked for the process in task manager:

Next I clicked on "Go To Process"... and I see this as the selected process for this popup:
http://barelistbabes.com/images/process.jpg

I thought it was just a mistake and decided to try again and got the same process. So I ended the process and guess what, the popup closed...

A second later the process opened again and the popup came back...

Ok so I closed Nifty Stats Pro and the popup process... hmmm no pop anymore...

So I paid $200 for the full version of Nifty Stats Pro, and now I have a popup I thought was a virus forcing me to do a clean install on my machine and lose a full day's work.

Thanks guys...

Hey if they knew about it... why not send an email out?

I understand things can get messed up in code trust me, but let people know about it before they waste A LOT of time on nothing.

That sucks that you went to the trouble of doing a full reinstall. What a pain that must have been.

Hello,
the following sponsor has started to display a popup console while checking the stats, the issue was reported to us and we have created a new version of Nifty Stats Pro with a better pop up blocker. Therefore please update your copy of Nifty Stats.

They probably get those stats by opening a hidden browser window. If that browser window opens a page with a pop-up that they are not equipped to suppress, you get a pop-up.

With a program like nifty stats, you are trying to browse the web without browsing the web. It's not surprising that there would be occasional issues.

- As soon as I think up a good sig it's going here.

Looks like it's stable with no popups now Jenna

Guess my development machine will do good with a clean OS on it

Last time I did a full format I made an image of my OS with all windows updates,programs i almost never update like autocad, office,etc. Now I can just restore it with everything installed. Takes like thirty minutes.

Constantly changing PST file from outlook, dev projects, etc... are a pain

This time I disagree with you, I think its 100% OK to post this on boards. The free version of Nifty Stats was a spam hell for me, however I loved the product when it was released, but over the months it became spammy and forced me to buy the full version. Because of the so many annoying experiences I gave a try to their competition StatsRemote, and I will keep using SR now as I love it!

I have been chasing that for a couple days too. I tried several malware programs, and changed anti virus programs.
