About 40% of the time I try and get on WIX I'm blocked
with some warning about Malware.
So what the heck is it????

It's not just you Jack. Do ya mean that when ya post something you get a white screen after you post and can't get back into WIX? I wonder if HGUSCU is lurking out there somewhere???

Well Jack -- from my vast well of computer knowledge I can suggest a couple of possibilities:

Most likely is that either your computer does not like you, or it is protesting against overwork or lack of its mandated rest periods. You should check its union contract.

A lesser possibility is that the WIX board does not like you.

Another possibility would be ghosts in your computer...

Jack, go to www.download.com and search for a program known as "Adaware". Download it, and run it. It is a great tool for removing spyware, and malware from your PC, and it's totally free.

I've gone off Adaware in its latest incarnation and IMHO it was never as good overall as Spybot.

Also free, get it here:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Do NOT go to any other site that says it's Spybot, the link is to the guy that wrote and maintains it.

It's a computer program your wife installed that tries to prevent you from wasting untold hours talking and typing about "those stupid airplanes" when you COULD be weeding the garden, mowing the lawn (insert whichever lame husbandly chore you wish at this point). :lol:

It could be your IP adress. If it is close to one of the spammer IPs the board has been seeing, it might be flagging you that way. Try to release and renew your IP and see if that helps.
