Default RE: Anything wrong with this website?

Calvin:

I don't get any warnings off this site either, are you sure its an antiviral warnbing, and not a pop-up or that kind of warning? It MAY be tweaking to the " You have a PM " pop-up... Have you tried checking your " Inbox " to see if you have recent PM's?

And sometimes, certain malware can cause false error warnings to get you to buy a garbage piece of software. Suggest you get some of the good freeware scanners:
- [link=http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html]Spybot S&D[/link];
- [link=http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Free-Internet-Security/3000-8022_4-10045910.html]Ad-Aware Free[/link];
- or limited-use [link=http://download.cnet.com/Hitman-Pro-3/3000-2239_4-10895604.html]Hitman Pro 3.5[/link] (but VERY good!)

Also it'd be useful to download [link=http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=E1605E70-9649-4A87-8532-33D813687A7F]Microsoft Security Essentials[/link], [link=http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=435BFCE7-DA2B-4A6A-AFA4-F7F14E605A0D]Windows Defender[/link] (both available at the [link=http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx]Microsoft Download Center[/link]) or even use the soon to be defunct run-from-online [link=http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm]Windows Live OneCare safety scanner [/link]

Then again, thats assuming you're using Windows... Note: the Microsoft/Windows proggies have various versions... x32, x64, XP, Vista and 7, so be sure ya get the right one for your OS, eh?

I've been having a few web page issues, but I've been delaying a reboot after an update, so that could be it. No troubles here though...

PS: no offence if this is all is over-covered, am an ex-tech trying to cover all the bases, so to speak... And no, I'm not the kinda tech that says " Erase all your cookies FIRST, then lets see if that helped "(which it RARELY does, and costs you a lot if you have security cookies for banking/billing sites, etc. damned Rogers outsourced techs... frakkin' morons...

Chase 'em 'til they blow, then shoot 'em in the *rse... (nuke-free zone!)
