@danp That's good info. I'm wondering if you can just leave finance.yahoo.com up in the background. The pop-ups aren't always instant.

RE: Javascript pop up in Firefox on Yahoo Finance
None. I did a nuke and pave and fresh install of FF from Ninite.com.

RE: Javascript pop up in Firefox on Yahoo Finance
They don't want to block finance.yahoo.com and the multiple pages it's loading are too many to block.

RE: Javascript pop up in Firefox on Yahoo Finance
Untangle doesn't appear to be compromised (from what I can see). I use Comcast and am geographically ~ 2 miles from their office and can't replicate it. I do use a Meraki instead of Untangle and many other parts of my network are different however. I haven't tried hooking a computer directly to the modem to see what happens if I do that... (I just thought of that while writing this.)

RE: Javascript pop up in Firefox on Yahoo Finance
Very likely but I can't reproduce it outside of their network. Outside of their network the page loads and stops loading. There isn't the constant lower left activity showing several links loading.

RE: Javascript pop up in Firefox on Yahoo Finance
That's my thought as well. I had Untangle support remote in. They looked at the settings and can't see any issues. I was using Comcast DNS (default from the WAN) on untangle and using Google DNS as the forwarders on the Domain Controller DNS. I switched both to Webroot's Secure DNS (paid service) and still no difference. I turned on the Adblocker feature on Untangle and no help there.

Javascript pop up in Firefox on Yahoo Finance
I have a client that when they go to finance.yahoo.com they will often get a pop up Window for a Firefox update and asking them to run a firefox-patch.js file. They are smart enough to not run it.
It only happens in Firefox, and only on Yahoo Finance.
In the lower left hand corner, instead of loading and stopping, it keeps trying to load different pages.
I have run every known AV Scanner, looked for issues using FRST and even nuked and paved. After nuke & pave, going back to finance.yahoo.com I still get the the pop-up. This happens on any computer in the network.
I am even using Webroot Filtered DNS as the forwarder on the Windows DNS Server as well as in Untangle.
I'm scratching my head trying to think of what else may be causing this.

Wow... where is the 'dislike' button? That stinks. I'd love to see what a good alternative is.

Trying to do 3 DR's at once.
1 - Client that I told many times to buy a UPS for their server that has frequent power outages. They had good intentions but never got around to doing it. (They have one now!)
2 - New client that thought they could do it on their own that shared out every drive on the server, every drive on each workstation and got hit by a crypto virus that encrypted virtually every file on every computer (inc Server) that they own
3 - Client that 'moved' his server all by himself (without turning anything off first) - Still trying to figure out this one.Oh, and keep up with my normal customer calls/tickets.
Fun day.
Weekend... all weekend!

Wow, just wow. Honestly #2 had me literally laughing (sry you are dealing with all of this).
Yeah, I had to be nice and tell him that doing that is 'generally not best practice'. Didn't want to add insult to injury. I think he got the point.
Sucks right now, but if everyone knew how to do I.T. I'd have to find a different job!
LOL you are a better person than I am. And you are right, that is job security for you :).
I just wish all the 'job security' didn't come at once!

RE: System Volume Information
Another culprit seems to be Dismhost.exe \Windows\System32\config\Components

RE: System Volume Information
@momurda I don't have any backups running during the day. What steps can I look into in order to mitigate the high activity?

System Volume Information
When I see C:\system volume information\ (and a string of numbers/letters) I am normally seeing very high hard drive usage. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show high disk usage, but shows the path. What exactly is that? (vs. a traditional file path and file name)

@jt1001001 said in Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC:
are any of your time services running under a domain accoutn instead of Local Service? Sounds like a service does not have permission to update the time
Windows Time is set to run under "Local Service" (not local system account)

@dbeato said in Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC:
@ccwtech I would check again what is the main NTP server on the servers and adjust the Time ZOne on the server.
The time zone is correct and I have tried several different time servers. What I see is that it is contacting the time servers as it should, but no matter what time is on the server it shows a 0 ms offset from the NTP servers.

RE: Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC
Is there any test for that? I would imagine the fix is a new motherboard, right?
