Norton Warning

[AB Editor]

Any of you still having issues?

Please state if you have had issues all day in addition to whether you're having them now.

All the best,

Ed

It's been all the time for 2 days now Ed (my Norton must be getting tired)

Constantly Ed, ever since the problem was first raised, every time I click on a new page/thread.

[AB Editor]

Thanks Craft. We're just testing.

Started this morning, but it's not happening now.

Good grief what's that terrible flashing advert from FXGM?

[bookbinder]

mallyh, it means Norton Antivirus Protection software, which many people instal on their computers. It stops viruses, and other nasty things, getting in to your PC. If it detects an 'intruder' it flashes up a little message on your screen, and it seems that quite a lot of ABers are finding that their PCs are being targeted by a certain naughty website (ads.silverdisc.co.uk) that wants to infect their computers with something malicious.

Glad you mentioned this. My computer's showing 'Norton blocked Web attack Malicious image request 2'

Okay, everyone clear your caches & refresh - let me if the problem persists!

Hi Ed - just logged in (with trepidation after yesterday) - no alerts popping in, so it looks as if you've cracked it, thank you :-)
