I don't know how to log out of the site without going there, so I'm just not visiting it for a while.
To the best of my knowledge, using FanFicFare cannot trigger this malicious code because FFF cannot run any javascript from site pages. |
That's easy. There are multiple ways. Remove your cookies associated with ff.net (or better yet clear browser data, cookies and other data). Or install a new browser (or run a portable version so you don't have to install). Or use a browser in covert mode (no cookies) most modern browsers have a 'covert' mode somewhere.
Just saw the comment as I was checking updated boards and figure'd I'd point it out. I figure you probably already know this, but might as well point it out if you don't. However, I do appreciate knowing about the issue, I hadn't heard about it.
