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.

Yep! That's weird! NANANANANANA!

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.

I couldn't get pictures earlier today- wierd!

I think it is a good thing I was on my iPhone

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!

That is weird....I get warnings almost everytime I get on the board that a malicious site has been blocked..makes one wonder who is monitoring us....or trying to get into our personal information...

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

sometimes my computer talks to me. I ignore it!!! hate that.

I have had 2 occassions lately where my virus prtection shuts down my Internet connection - while I am on QB - & indicates it has stoped an attack on my computer

Thanks, Barb, for the tip on how to shut it down. I didn't know that. These hackers come up with something new every day. It's a dark and dirty back alley out there.

I don't care what my son says --I know these things have Ghosties Imps and other worldly beings LOL

I just now got a message from my virus protection program about some malware too.

What is the reason " they " want to mess up our computers ? What is the satisfaction ? I don't get it. Have a good day.

They don't know how to make quilts, and they need some kind of a hobby....

Heh. There ya go! Great reason.

Several of my posts have disappeared, but maybe I am posting something I am not suppose to post?

Am I still here? Does it say banned by my profile?

My laptop got a new thing about virus protection and, being half asleep at the time, I thought it was something real and clicked on it. Now the laptop is unusable, luckily have an iPad, but I don't know what to do with the laptop. I can't even open scrabble on it!

My DH heard that iPads and iPhones are immune from viruses etc???

Also thanks for the advice about using task manager to close things, I never heard that before.

That is good to know!

I think it is not so much that they are immune but they have a different operating system and the majority of hackers are using the windows operating system.

another weird thing, I read the post about Bringing a Tear to my EYE and my computer or what ever put two links in my tool bar at the top of my screen to that posting. I didn't ask for it to do that and had to delete them. Grrrrr.

I know this is a dumb question butttttt----Where is the task manager???????

Right-click on the task bar at the bottom - you'll see it as a selection. Click on that. Find the app you want to close, highlight it, click on "end task."
