Re: bugs in the machine

Tom,

Have not logged in for a couple of days. but nothing unusual for me today...will try from phone next !

For the record : I use Windows 7, latest Firefox, and have my cookies cleared every time I close Firefox...yeah, a PITA to re-enter login creds, but I don't mind...seems to keep my bank and trading accounts relatively safe !!!

Stoplight...

Any popups today? One member said they had one on their Android phone.

Nothing Popping up for me!!

Started getting the popups again last night when I initially try to login to the Forum.
Now getting them from time to time when I go from thread to thread?

i got one popup earlier today on my android phone while switching between threads. it said something like "you have four virus! ..."

i'm pretty sure the plural of virus is "viruses" or "virusii", so i didn't click on it because i knew right away it was a fake and wouldn't take me to a cool porn site or nuthin.

Yes !

Tom, I did manage to log in tonight without any issues, on both my desktop and Android....while here, I went ahead and changed my password, per your suggestion.

Does anyone else sometime have log in problems ? Mine has thrown me out to the "Failed login 5 times...." screen, on the 1st attempt, the last couple of days.

UPDATE: Spoke too soon ! When I tried to post this reply, I got thrown off the board !!! Now logged back in...

Frustrating. Do use one of the apps or go straight to the forum in a mobile browser?

While I'm not getting any Malware, I have acquired 2898 ad-ware bugs recently...I worked about two hours last night cleaning and de-bugging files and registry of infections..
And NO, I do not go to porn sites..Only site I frequent now is this one and a liberal ATT Yahoo news page.

We're waiting to re-scan the servers until the firewall is properly in place and can be accessed properly.

 

[tsptalk]

Latest malware scan came up clean. If you see anything a screen shot or posting the exact message or ad you see would be helpful.

Thanks again!

Not sure this isn't a local problem associated with McAfee or Chrome or win10 or who knows what. Just observed it happens when logged in to TSPTalk.
