I had something also not sure what day though. I was trying to onto a fabric site from a post on here and it wouldn't let me do it. I'm going to see if i can find the day. Barb

Last few days I have found the board to be "acting funny" in my opinion.....then last night on my laptop, my virus protection advised that quilting board was not secure.....today I am able to view the board (at work) but I am not able to pull up websites to view fabric....so something is up! I have 2 different virus protections so something is definately wrong somewhere....for the two to notify me...

I've had to post this twice. The first one never copied. ?

If the http// does not have an 's' after the http then the site is not secure. I have major anti virus protection due to my business and I have not had any prompts about a virus but the site has really been slow for several days.















I've been having some issues, too, and I have great virus protection because I have an online business. BTW, one thing...notice http//...if there is no 's' after the http then it is not secure. The site has been very very slow for a week or two.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

I got something nasty this past Monday. It was unkillable ( I do this for a living-and I tried every trick-it was a fairly new malware program I'm sure). Had to over write the hard drive with the back up. Don't think it's the board though I think I must have clicked a link. Won't do that again!! Lol
