Subject: Problems
Four times in the past few days my browser (firefox) has been hijacked by something claiming to be called Win Anti Virus Pro trying to make me download something. It is always when I've been making a move in backgammon. Is this happening to anyone else?

srnity: If you use norton or other anti virus software then you shouldnt have any problems , dont download what the links send you too though because it is just a scam

srnity & TheJazzCafe: There has been a conversation on the Feature Board (until they were asked to take it elsewhere(Computer Board)) last couple of days. Could be linked to the same problem, sounds like Spyware, something called Errorprotector there though & also banner ads that have been showing up.
If you have a decent Virus protector, Firewall and pop up Blocker you should be fine. I know AVG (grisoft.com) do some good free stuff & if you use Firefox you can get an add-on called Add Block Plus.

TheJazzCafe: Thank goodness, I thought it was just me. When I check my cookies I see one from PC turbo Pro. When it happens it tries to download an .exe file and tries to loop so that you cannot avoid it. It's becoming very annoying.
