The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Anybody who what it is, it appears now and again when i visit NBR.

    I get the normal NBR forum page and this box on top of it.

    I have run spybot and super anti spyware.

    Nah man, look at the address up top.
    Definitely some form of spyware.
    Run malwarebytes anti-malware and see if it picks anything up.
    Make sure your browser is set not to use any proxies.

    The link looks like one of the ads being blocked or not opening. Do you run adblock plus?
