[Opera Issue] Unusually high datausage while surfing Digit.

[Charan]

Sometimes when I view a thread in this forum Opera downloads lot of data. even after the page is loaded opera keeps downloading lot of data. As I have a 2 MBPS connection, by the time I realise this unusual activity I would have already lost 8-10 MB. I had 3 such instances two days ago and twice in that last one hour.

I have tried clearing the cache and also upgraded to the latest release (9.52).

I've not had any such issue earlier with the forum, as this one has the least ads + images.. I think you may have a virus/trojan on your machine or a addon install in Opera that is hogging up all this bandwidth.

^^ Its not a virus nor a trogan as my system is clean . and I dont have any addon's installed for opera. The problem hasnt surfaced after I posted this thread. , but still im on a lookout for that

Update: The additional downloads were from this site : ttzmedia.com . I checked the source of the thread which downloaded the data and found this.

I have added the site to the blocked websites in KIS. Hope this will solve the issue.

Any other advice?

[skippednote]

Charan i would suggest you to use firefox...!

[prasad_den]

^^ That isn't a solution to his problem...!

@Charan: I haven't had any such problem till date.. Probably got to do something with the ads. Modify the urlfilter.ini and try to block the unnecessary links.

These days, you can't trust digit. They may have partnered with some company and that company may infused their content into digit's pages. May be the company is taking advantage of digit without digit knowing it?

Oh i c, ttzmedia.com is a affiliate!

Just block the ttzmedia js using opera's content blocker.

^^ Looks like it did the trick. But damage has been done already in my office .. today the script downloaded 88MB , Same issue was also there in my office computer.
