Magicblock autoloads paypal site for money....BS BS BS!!@

[lida]

next time your pc is on and you have no programs open hit your enter
key and watch magicblock auto load paypal for a donation...BS. first thought was a hack or virus etc. ahole should have a disclaimer somewhere.

You got something going on with YOUR computer .. I run Firefox
and with all programs closed -- Nata -- so I would be looking to
run a scan on your computer ..

OPPS I dont use magicBlock.......

I plugged my MJ into my wifes dell installed firefox, closed all programs and hit the enter key and NOTHING, I'd say you need to use your recovery cd's cause its not your MJ that causing the problem.

I made the same mistake. He's talking about "magicBLOCK" not "magicJACK." I posted a criticizing response and then realized my mistake, and deleted it.

Can you be more specific about what you are doing?? I run MagicBlock, and have never seen my system link to paypal for anything.

I don't run FFox though. I just use IE or Opera (under Vista).

Also, What version of MagicBlock are you using? I have version 1.2

When I open the MagicBlock gui... the lower half of the window has a very obvious request for donations... but there is nothing automatic about it.

Already gave all info I have about it.. see above post and link that
show up asking for money. I installed this at the same time on my laptops
and all three have the same deal if computer is empty nothing open and
or running and I press the enter key it loads up the site.. so I removed
it off of one of my laptops and no longer a problem...just never had any
body hijack a keyboard before. Makes you wonder what else may be lurking in his freeware??

[dougweiser]

Sorry... but that does not happen on my machine.

The only way I can get to the paypal donation link you refer to is:

The magicblock GUI is open, and has focus and
a) I hit enter,
b) I click on the "donate!" link


Just hittine enter on an empty desktop does not do what you suggest.

Yeah... who cares if the magicBLOCK dude wants donations? He made the program, I think he deserves to have a donation button.
