OMG OMG OMG. 
I went to this site because I linked to the wrong site from my site on freewebs. I linked to a site called sth like "frewebs . com" and there came a about:blank popup. I quickly closed everything and changed all my pws (even hotmail and yahoo). Do you think I'm cooke grabbed? I'm not very sure...
Woah that sure scared me! XD

If you've got a firewall and anti-virus on your computer I wouldn't worry too much. If not, then you can use online virus checkers... Such as...

Google toolbar offers a pop-up block, as do many other toolbars out there.
but if you are worried about Spyware, I'd suggest you download and install Adaware ( http://www.lavasoft.com/software/adaware/ )
Just run this a couple times a week, and it should keep your machine reasonably clear from spyware.

Delete your cookies, change your pass.

For the record, about:blank isn't a virus/cookie grabber. It's a standard page that comes up when a new window is opened and your browser doesn't know what to put in it.
But I'd change your password anyway. (As I'm guessing you've done already)

Oh okay thanks.
Guess I was too freaked out after reading those guides.

A CGer can be anything, anywhere. A lot of people have been imbedding them in lookups on Neo.
But if you have what werepup said, I wouldn't worry.

my acct. was fozen for using a cheat program or downloaded a cheat progam. I did nither, I do not even now what a cheat program is and I never downloaded one too. In fact I have not downloaded anything for sometime now. Was I cookie grabbed? I wrote to tnt. but I am guessing I have lost my acct. Can someone tell what is a cheat program and what is it for. Thanks for any help at all.

I think it'll be hard to prove that you weren't using a cheat program, but basically it's things like autobuyers and refreshers.

Nooooo! Cookies aren't bad!
And even if, I'd guess the majority of people who implement them have at least a simple encryption so they can't be used to kill us all.
But, not being a web designer myself, I'm not qualified to shout random things about the Web Designer Idiom (WDI).

Thanks, All I know is I did not use an auto buyer or used a program to refresh for me. I miss my acct. that I worked very hard at. I know I will never get my acct. back and I am too scared to start a new one for if I was forzen for something I did not do. I will most likly get frozen again. Time to look else where .
