Security ?

[Knobhead]

I’ve just had a security screen appear from nowhere. What’s gone wrong this time?

Yes .... I had the same thing the other day and ever since then whenever I fire-up my browser I hear a nasally Yank voice lecturing me about security through the speakers and I cannot get rid of it except by turning the sound off. There's also a nasally Yank woman prattling on about how to use a browser.

Where the **** did this come from??? I don't know but it only happened since this forum's "security" screen popped up.

It's looking to me like this forum is not a very safe place to be just now.

That’s got me worried now. I should have done a screen shot of it. See if anyone else has had it.

I have been getting a page with some crap about you cannot post due to security issues please contact your administrator or the like

3 or 4 times i've had a stupid number that i can barely read that i have to copy in a box.

For days i had a screen asking for a fuzzy number then it would say 'time out'

Well I have this voice thing going on all the time when the browser is open unless I mute the sound.

I've done my best to find out where it's coming from with no luck so am waiting for my tame IT bod to show up but IT bods are worse than builders for not showing up when they say they will.

They are also so bloody BORING to talk to!!!

THAT is worth taking a screenshot of and sending to Tony. I think it's what he's wanting to have a look at.

Another thing that's just started to happen is whenever I try to access my e-mail account I am asked to log into G-mail - which would be fine if I used G-mail but I don't. My account is with Virgin media which I now can't get into because this G-Mail login page keeps appearing and asking for user name & password etc. Then when I do it says it isn't recognised and won't let me in!!

I'll see what my IT bloke finds out - if / when he turns up. One thing's for sure though and it if he does turn up he'll be leaving about £30 richer and I'll be about £30 poorer!

Looks like I may be kicking this forum into the long grass if Issues like this continue - it isn't worth the hassle.

Fortunately I have a very nice big solid-as-a-rock desktop PC to use for the "important stuff".

Yes .... I thought that and ran a full scan using Bullguard. It ran for well over 2 hours & found nothing.
