LiveAboard Magazine

The LiveAboard online magazine website is now a homepage highjacker and should be avoided. It is NOT a virus or anything illegal, just one of those nauseating marketing fixtures that injects a cookie onto your computer and tries to highjack your homepage. At any rate, no liveaboard stuff at all.

You must have got the browser hijack from another site, Just finished visiting livingaborad.com. No browser hijack for me. My home page is unaffected.

Okay. I''ll try it again. I hope you''re right. Those sidetracks really get my goat.

Liveaboard.com is now a charter operator, while livingaboard.com (with a "g") is the magazine.

I've been an active participant on livingaboard, here at sailnet and a couple other sites for some time. Some spam lingers longer before moderation on livingaboard, but I've never found it unsafe.

I was on Livingaboard' sforum just a few minutes ago. I have been a member for several years. Never had a problem. What kind of anti-virus and anti ad software are you using. I use both AVG and Ad-Aware. I rarely ever have any problems with unwanted downloads, including malicious cookies.
