please do a scan for viruses. and instead of clicking the Off or X please press Ctrl f4 delete all at the same time

Sometimes viruses activate when you click on the X

Hi QuiQuaiQuod

We're just going to move this over to site stuff if that's okay.

Could we ask for a screenshot of the security message?

Hi Lorna.

The message wont go anywhere except I have to keep clicking a million times 'NO'. Im not able to send it anywhere.

Im trying not to click on the x in case its a virus.

! its doing it again! I cant link anything, and the screen kind of freezes so I cant send anything. Is no one else getting this message alert?

I have to click NO many times and Im on a PAYG dongle and don't want to run out of credit. In fact I have to log off now and try again tomorrow or Wednesday.

This sounds like the problem outlined in a thread in Site Stuff last weekend titled Security Warning (scroll down a few threads and you will see it).

Hi - we think notthe1Parrot could be right here (thank you!). In that instance, it turned out to be an issue with Internet Explorer - it could be that you are running an old version. Could you try updating and let us know how you get on? Cheers Wine.

Hi QuiQuaiQuod,

Would you mind sending an email over to [email protected]?

We'd be more than happy to take a look.
