Default Reading internet reviews of S2000- an "illegal operation?"

Hi. I'm as fascinated by my new 04 as everyone else is about their S. So when I've read every new post here at S2ki I sometimes do a Google search to reread the old reviews of the S2000. However, there's a problem.

Every time I start reading a magazine review of the S on the net, the "you have performed an illegal operation" box comes up and I have no choice but to reboot.

Does this happen to anyone else? It has gotten to the point that I dare not click on any reviews of the S2000 any more. Why does this happen? What's going on here?

its a conspiracy, "the man" doesn't want you to know about the s2000...
i find it hard to believe that this error your getting is specific to s2000 related articles. i bet it'll happen no matter what your looking at on the net, and i'm guessing that this "illegal operation" that is occuring is a microsoft product (IE) actually trying to work. you could possibly have some spyware running on your comp. try and clean that crap off.

I agree, spybot, and Adaware, download them, run them, they are your friends.

Sounds like you need a little system maintenance dude.

This is one of the most common solutions:

If that doesn't work, try this software: http://www.safer-networking.org/

I have run both of these fixes and never get pop-ups or other annoying crap like that anymore.
