woodzchick: Has anybody had any problems while using the Norton 360 and Firefox? I'm not a computer geek and have so much to learn. I was just wondering if the OP or anybody else had an opinion on this particular type of security for their computer.


Norton is OK for an anti-virus but the platform is bloated and prone to runaway processes that will slow down your computer to a crawl. It's better than McAfee though.

Avast just blocked a trojan from google.analytics.com. CS seems to be in the clear but not Google Ads.

I use Kaspersky Internet Security Services which not only has an excellent firewall but also offers a sand box IE users can run IE in so nothing can change your system files.
Mr Kaspersky put together the first ever anti-virus program and i only pay $38 per year now so I am happy with the program, its comprehensive protection which i think is worthwhile investing in.

woodzchick congratulations in having your first ride in the mountains. Myself driving in the mountains here the other day managed to take photos of the first wild horses i've actually seen roaming free, was pleased to. Big well done with development of your property

I Robplum, I am getting some notices of trojans. I also use Kaspersky. It looks like my system has an on-going scan. I think it is blocking them. Is there anything I need to do other than run a scan? Any help would be appreciated. hug

Mindful, I'm glad you started this thread. I have had two attempts of invasions from viruses within the last hour that I have been on here. It's never been this bad before.

I usually only had problems with the IM, but tonight I am getting messages from attempted invasions from just being on the site.

thats why i started it exactly!

my system is sensitive i just wanted to be sure its CS and not anything i got a week ago from somewhere else before doing my chicken little imitationlaugh

and katt i know its not cs but google but not everyone understands such specifics

if i start a thread like this its in hopes of just gathering info or putting out an alert to less experienced users in a language we can ALL understand.

i just say this so you dont feel compelled to correct me saying its CS or dissect and explain the details.handshake

must report nowsuper <<<supergeekblushing

later peepspeace

mindfful: guys

i am a medium-high level tech geek so i dont need long advice -thanks

i am just curious if anyone else is running a realtime virus program and is getting alerts while cruising CS?
yesterday and today when i click to a new page here-
(not every time-)avast is sounding the alert and saying trojan found.

i surf all day all over the net- this is the only place its happening

just wondering if we need to alert admin


in all the years here i have never ever had this or any similar experience from CS


Have you been going to eveyone's links they post in here ? roll eyes

Kaspersky firewall monitors all open ports, alot of trojansget into computer through the open ports. What Kaspersky is showing you with the little box that popes up telling you it has blocked an attempted intrusion means its blocked the trojans access. You can atually configure Kaspersky not to alert you about.
You don't need to worry if it that, small box that popes up on taskbar is only letting you know the attack occurred and its sorted it.
When you go online, your computer open hundreds of ports, your likely only using one or two of them and its those open ports outsiders are attempting to gain access through, don't worry Kaspersky got that covered mindfful

thats part of its reporting the problem

so its a good program

but that just identifies the problem so its the ads sold and maintained by google ads that are on cs's page that are causing the problem

i just dont think its always best to get real technical when trying to share back and forth with people of different understandings

it confuses the issue in my opinion and makes it harder to get a blanket countdunno

im too tired to explain what i mean reallyblues



articulate thats the word i wanted

off and on for a long time google's adds have been used by tossers to infect computers. The notice you are likely getting i think probably is alerting you that google add is trying to run script as your browser is likely set to detect that. I think eventually google will detect the infection and remove that add, not sure CS are able to do anything other than report it to google
