I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!

I bought my machine in May and went with the Norton AV free trial, when that expired I bought another Norton program and installed that.
Until recently I would try to attach pics to a post and I would get some kind of warning telling me that I could not post them until I clicked on the warning and then I could go back and put them in like always.
Now, I get a nifty window that pops up and I can get the 'quick reply' window for my PMs. At first I thought it was the AV program because on some sites it tells me to either undo my pop up blocker or I could click on the content and see what was going on.
All the problems seem to have been resolved, but that was really weird and I thought it may have been part of the way I have the AV settings all tightened up. Now I do a weekly defrag and sys scan and everthing seems to work o.k.
Interesting information and I am glad nothing got screwed up on the site.
Karen, Paul: I would suggest contacting whatever company provides ads for your website and report this specific ad. This can/is affecting other people.
EDIT: I should clarify "other people" as in other communities encountering the same AD that Pet Talk has.

I was getting an ad last week Saturday for one of those programs that purports to rid your PC of viruses and adware - the one that resembles Windows dialog boxes. I ran a full scan with Kaspersky - it picked off some junk and now everything seems fine.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

I got a virus on my pc at home, luckily I have two pc's.
This happened last Sunday night. It is hosed, I let norton expire for two weeks, I purchased norton at costco but hadn't taken the time to install it. My pc is unusable, I can't even install the norton now since it is infected. I am so frustrated with it my husband it dealing with it.
Norton is gone and all the drives are unusable![]()
don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....
I have been frosted!
Thanks Kfamr for the signature!
I am just seeing this thread. I had the same thing happen to me about 4 or 5 days ago. I didn't pay too much attention to when it was. I was in a panic because it reminded me of the day my computer actually did have a virus a while back. I finally got my virus scan to work after trying to close the popups down--I thought I would never get out of it. I haven't had a problem since then.
I've been Boo'd...
Thanks Barry!
