One of those days
Went to get in a few games this morning and all my browser programs won't connect to the internet because the "proxy server is refusing the connection". GACK!!!!
I have internet because I have programs updating in the back ground, but couldn't get safari or firefox to work. Thank god for my i-Pad because it worked and I found a useful video to start the fix. Don't know what happened, it was working until it wasn't. AND I always have an updated virus checker running on the computer
After a good hour and a half I think I have everything under control. I've virus scanned, tuned up, and virus scanned, and updated, and virus scanned, uninstalled, reinstalled, and virus scanned, removed cookies, and disabled anything I didn't recognize...
What a pain this morning!
At one point I was assaulted by all kinds of ads and pop ups. Like a Tiger pounding on Shermans from a hull down position. And that was on the Blitz site and I know we don't run adverts.
Pretty strange.
