Default Weird happening just now

Weird!

I was on the board reading a thread when all of a sudden a message popped up saying all my cookies had been erased.
Don't know why or how unless it had something to do with the plane going by overhead.

Then I had to sign in again in order to post.

My virus checker has been popping up often so there must be a great many traveling around. At least you were able to sign back on and it wasn't able to attach itself to your computer.

just a reminder, anytime you get a weird popup like that on your PC, do NOT click on the "X" to get rid of it. Go to Task Manager and shut it from there. I got malware on my laptop once by clicking on the X and it took hours to get rid of it.

Not sure what you do on Iphones!

download a malware program, there are some free ones, and run it weekly at least.
