Started getting weird ( to me) boxes popping in on a few of my frequently visited pages. The latest on being on accuweather. Small box popped open said: Message from website: move below the fold.
Where the hell is the fold on a web page?  Ran a full scan using my antivirus( trendmicro titanium) and it didn't find anything. ???????? ( insert smiley beating computer with baseball bat!)

M'be run a free version of Malwarebytes and/or SpyBot to see if they can find something....or any other good antivirus program....

In you browser settings turn off, allow popups. In Firefox, select tools then options then content. there is a selection to block popups.


Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Damn, let me jump in with my problem.  My computer locked up last week and ever since I can't transfer data from my computer to my Garmin 550 and I can't transfer pictures from my camera.

USB ports are operating....it's like the computer isn't recognizing the devices.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know how to "restore to an earlier date?"  I can't promise anything, but that would be my first try.

Step 1: turn off computer
Step 2: use this as an excuse to ride.
Step 3....

Well see you later.
