Thanks, Seven. I should have googled it myself. Except I've grown lazy and I rely on comments from TOTV! I'm a sucker for TV ads, except I don't order vegetable peelers and foot washers from the Shoppping Channel.

I had a malware attack (Microsoft XP Securtiy) while on this site yesterday, so it hasn't gone away.

I too had another attack yesterday while visting TOTV. I have Vista as my operating system and my browser is Internet Explorer. This one was harder to clean. Could not even run Malwarebytes in Safe Mode. Had to right click mouse and Run as Administrator. Between running it and Avast Anti Virus and SuperAnti Spyware, I am back up and clean but for how long;who knows?

Running the programs as administator is a function of the operating system and NOT the malware.

That me be true but left clicking only brought up the virus notification. No actual programs would open left clicking.

How does this act? Does a red sign stop every windows change?

Does it take forever to shift?

Just experienced my 8th "high level" security attack in the past 10 days while on TOTV. This one represents the 8th different originating attacking site and the problem goes on without anyone taking any corrective action. Easy to say that the TOTV site is not the problem (as quoted by the Adminstrator) but I can assure you that this problem is embedded somewhere within this site.

I have changed browsers from Internet Explorer to Firefox to see if it helps. was using Internet Explorer exclusively during the 4 or 5 attacks I have experienced.

schotzb---please let us know if switching from Internet Explorer to Firefox helps this security attack problem. May take a couple of days in order to evaluate but it would be interesting to see if this resolves the problem for you. Thanks.

Unfortunately switching browsers is not an option for me (and probably many others). I have tried Firefox and Chrome and neither of them have the features that keeps me with IE9.

This is my personal opinion and I am sticking to it. Please do not start posting the positives of Firefox or Chrome sand the negatives of IE9 in this thread.

BTW: I have had three attacks on TOTV and Norton NIS caught all of them so I am just as concerned as the rest of you.

I'm not a huge fan of Firefox or Chrome either but just thought I would make the switch as a test to see what happens. I still use Firefox as my primary browser and I basically am only using Firefox for TOTV.

I will let you know. Only switched for about 4 hours now.

[kathy and al]

Thanks, shotzyb. I'll be real interested in your test results. Thanks again.

I'm still getting attacks also when on this site......maybe it's something I said????

Don't count on Firefox to save you. That's what I was using when attacked 2 weeks ago. I always use Firefox and am real happy with it. I've only had two attacks that malware had to shut down the computer. Here and the AARP site about 6 months ago. I'm probably going to buy Malwarebytes Pro. That seems to work best. It might not be in the TOTV site but it's certainly coming THROUGH it. I haven't had this problem anywhere else on the internet except AARP and I no longer accept their emails or go to their site.
