What the hell is WebLeach, and why does it hate the SDMB?

Factual Questions
1

This morning when I tried to open up my high speed access (Road Runner), I got some kind of “Access Denied by WebLeach” response. I got the same damn thing when I tried to get into the SDMB.

It says: Deny by WebLeach (Deny by allow http access control list rules)

I can’t even get into Road Runner at all.

I can open my AOL, but not my high speed. That’s how I got here.

I Googled it, but I couldn’t find anything that would help me access my high speed.

Anyone have any ideas?

Are you sure it isn’t WebLeech?

3

Ignore that last post. It looks like WebLeach is an internet filtering software. Where are you posting from?

4

Nope. It’s definitely WebLeach. The “deny” remark I posted was cut-and-pasted from their response.

5

I’m in Minnesota. It seems WebLeach is a Chinese filtering program. I don’t have any idea why it’s affecting me here.

6

If you are posting from home, you might try to see if you can uninstall the program.

7

I would, if I could find it. I’ve searched, and I can’t find anything amiss.

It’s really frustrating.

8

Have you called road runner?

9

That’s next.

Today’s lessons learned:

  1. Don’t ever waste your time trying to contact Road Runner. You get funneled through 6 layers of nitwits before someone from Time Warner Cable (who owns Road Runner) says they can’t help you.

  2. I found the offensive program by using Hijack This. I disabled it, and everything is peachy again.
