Problems with this site
 
First of all I know this isn't the correct place to post this. Can't access the right site. Anyway my back arrow (top left corner) keeps blacking out. Can only return to main page by pressing the Home button.This happens about 75% of the time. I also get lots of virus warnings. This only happens on this site. Had my computer checked & was told that it was this site, nothing I'm doing. Any tips.

I was having that problem for about two weeks and It is gone now. Not sure what it was.

I have had this same problem. I also have had this pop up several times while trying to access the QB site.

I too have had issues with trying to use the back button. 90 percent of the time I have to go to the home page a start again.

I haven't had those problems, but in the past few days when I'm typing a response sometimes my keyboard strokes aren't recorded, and I have to type very slowly -- like one stroke every 10 seconds. When that happens, I also can't scroll the page. I've just allowed IE11 to install, so wondered if there might be a compatibility issue.

I've never had any of those problems. I also wonder if it's a browser issue. I use Mozilla Firefox with AdBlock Plus.

ditto.
AdBlocker is also available as a free add-on to Google Chrome.

added note: anybody who still uses the AOL browser should switch to another.
it's the one browser i know for sure causes a lot of problems here.

I use Firefox, and have just downloaded the AdBlocker Plus add-in that you recommended to me PatriceJ. So far, no further pop-ups this afternoon. I haven't had the back arrow problem.
Belfrybat, I did have the problem with the slow strokes & when I looked up to the address bar, it had changed to autopartswarehousei.com so I closed out a few hours ago, and am now typing with no problems.

I was having the same thing, but worse. I never had any problems until about 2 weeks ago, then AVAST started notifying me that this site had malware. I have two virus programs installed, so how did that happen? Then, my screen started going black. The minute I touched a key, it would go black. I have been using my DH computer or my tablet to look at QB. I took my computer in to the computer repair shop so that he could run diagnostics. He said I have OVER 60 viruses!! How did that happen with several virus programs installed? He wants to charge me $175 to clean it up. There have been so many people with problems, there has to be something going on....

I had problems recently, only on the whole computer. My Office Depot computer fixer suggested I switch from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome. Seems to have helped.
