finding your limits is fun, it can also be VERY painful.

If you care about Canada's future, get involved by holding your MLA's & MP's accountable!! don't just be sheep!!

chances are Norton wont detect anything. I dont like Norton, Anytime I have had a virus it is because I had installed norton or McAfee.
Adaware is a joke.

I use NOD32 awsome antivirus. http://www.nod32.com./

Download Windows Defender, Spybot http://www-spybot.net/ and Hack This http://www.hackthis.org/

Anyone else experiencing this when accessing the discussion forum? Please let me know. Not sure if it is from accessing this website Sandy, I highly doubt it but will make a note of it for precautions.

Oh you're talking about this in his signature! ::)



Damn Rick, I actually had one other person PMing me about this "pop-up window that cannot be closed". Gave me sleepless nights. I think it is time to ban him! ;D
