Forum Issues I've Noticed

Post by Underdog »

Dear WR,
Today I was ranting about how much I hated Pauly Shore when your website came out and attacked me. I was only brused by the "incident" so no harm done. I'm not sure if there is a BBCode virus or what. Maybe the site has anger management problems and should seek counseling. I just want you to know I very much enjoy your website and hope that it will not physically abuse me in the future. Is there some sort of patch out there to prevent this? If so let me know.

Your friend,
Underdog

I fucking hate Norton Anti virus. Mine does nothting in UO, but hubby was looking for a chainsaw and almost every site he went into, Norton wouldn't let him in. The site would go crazy. I turned it off for 15 minutes and he was able to access the sites. Also, it scans my emails when I send them, even after I turned that option off. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

NOD32 is what I use. I got tired of Norton's virus program so I got something better. I rarely get errors here (except for the usual errors), but I mostly have active scripting turned off since I use IE. Also stops any pop up.

I'm taking this to the off topic thread, so we don't get in trouble.

What do you think. Can a website really cause someone physical bruses? Maybe emotional bruses but not physical. The site should still go through anger management training. Sexual harassment in the workplace training wouldn't hurt either.

Thats pretty funny that Norton is such a crap program that it thinks this site is attacking your computer. Thats...wow.

actually it is not Norton Antivirus it is Norton Interent Security, and the program was supposed to block anything that connects to your computer. So everything that comes into the computer is checked by Norton which in turn causes your computer to run realllllll slow... i would not suggest any Norton Programs to ANYONE. Actually i downloaded the Yahoo! Toolbar with Anti-spy and it found 2 adware programs on my computer that Norton didnt even see. for some reason amybe because of the cookies or somthing on this site it is reading it as a SpyWare attack :evil: however it did find plenty of programs or i would just uninstall it.

Shouldn't there be someway to configue the Norton program, so that it won't behave so badly. I am not good with it, and it pisses me off. I have turned off the email scan twice and it still keeps scanning my mail. Now, it asks me if I want to block certain cookies (which is not bad). I just don't know how to set it up correctly, if there is a way.

Sorry, my knowledge of that portion ends with 2002-2003's versions. They've done a major revamp since then. Your best bet is to go to symantec's website and see what kind of hoops they make you jump through. The one place I use to go is no longer in service and is now a game site.
