is this SITE corrupt ?

[BlackThunder]

when i attempted to open the AB, McAfee redirected me to their security page.
anyone else had this warning ??????
this is just a small section of the warning i recieved.


Why were you redirected to this page? When we tested, this site attempted to make unauthorized changes to our test PC by exploiting a browser security vulnerability. This is a serious security threat which could lead to an infection of your PC.

[terambulan]

Yes.............most or our PCs are corrupted/infected with porn on hard disc from Sunday's topics. If the PC needs repairing in a shop or such we're gonna have a lot of explaining to do...........

But there's a very amusing sex shop in the Canaries where we can all go, en masse, to escape the law.

I thought this site didn't allow porn? Have I missed something?

[Ice.Maiden]

Well we all keep having trouble with our computers in some manner - pages freezing, running slowly, etc. Then of course, you've got the stupid idiots who've been messing about with the html and stuff........

[091264]

legend, sorry i mean tesco..................... being a new person here how would you know that?

[sallybowles]

It's in the t&c's. you have to read it all and agree before you can sign onto the site. didn't you do this 091264?

but no, tesco, you havn't missed anything. just some silly numpty on here being stupid.....again!

[Ethel]

terambulan - I told you on your question that there is no porn on your pc unless you chose to download it from the links posted here.

Simply clicking the link has not put porn on your hard drive.

[091264]

technically sallyparkerbowles you dont have to read the ts and cs. you just click on the i have read them button, so you are wrong in what you say and wrong to assume that tesco or anyone else reads them. is this clear or would you like to get me a piece of chalk so i can explain in easier for you

[BlackThunder]

who mentioned PORN ?
this was a genuine security threat warning from the McAfee site advisor.
it was only after i allowed McAfee to access the site that i was allowed in.

[sallybowles]

no need to be sarky pants now.....lol.

I do understand what it means, and I was being facetious.

:-)

[091264]

ok sorry

[sallybowles]

no problem :-)
lighten up a bit... it can be fun....lol.

[BlackThunder]

sarky pants, me ? HA !
wasnt being sarky Ms Bowles, i was being genuine.
some people dont have the same levels of internet security as others. if there is a threat to our systems by using the AB, surely we have a right to know !
(and it SHOULDNT be in the small print)
:-)

[sallybowles]

sorry black thunder, that quip was directed at someone else (091264), not you.
I understand you had a genuine complaint and we have invaded your thread, so apologies there mate....

smile, you know you want to.
:-)

[BlackThunder]

:-)

[sallybowles]

there!!, thats better....we are all friends again now?

[BlackThunder]

amazing.
only Ice gave an answer that was in any way, shape or form, related to the thread !

[sallybowles]

many of the posts on this site end up the same way. people chatting to others who have answered your query. It's called wandering off down the garden path ,or some such silly saying...I can't remember now...what was I talking about??
oh yes, invading your thread....sorry, once again x
:-)

[mrs.chappie]

Hi BlackThunder,

Just a thought ....... perhaps if you'd posted your Q in How it Works, or Technology, rather than in Chatterbank, you might have got more relevant answers.

Chatterbank threads usually tend to include lots of chat about all sorts!!!!

:o)

[BlackThunder]

no problem sally. :-)
but if you care to take a look, only Ice gave a genuine answer.
everything and anything else was NOTHING to do with the thread !
the threat was infact "unauthorised changes" to a major security companies testing computer.
if it isnt safe for McAfee, what chance do we have ?
:-)

[BlackThunder]

will try to remember that Mrs Chappie, but in honesty, this was intended for the masses.
thanks all the same ! :-)
