Messages...site hacked

July 21, 2016 06:14PM
FYI...the header on this site​ showed I had 1, then 2, then 3 messages each of the last three days....trying to access those "messages" resulting in a scam Microsoft 'debugging' screen, and an inability to go anywhere or do anything on my computer. Had to shut down, re-boot, and notify Norton...beware all.....

I've had the same thing happen to me from time to time.

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Norton fixed mine also, they were great. I also get phone calls, beware.

I don't see that any more since ads are blocked. It was along the top frequently but looked different than our private message notices. So AFAIK the PMs here have not been hacked.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

The site is fine, what you are seeing is a banner generated by your browser. It is your settings, similar to Google Analytics settings. There are many hidden add-ons running on our devices that we "accidentally" install which cause this to happen.

My posts are solely based on my opinions and for my entertainment, contact a professional if you need real advice.

It happened to me a long time back with this site's newsletter. Didn't open them for a long time afterward.
