    That would explain why Norton prevented my opening www.cavediver.net earlier today. I tried a second time and it worked. Seems Symantec is all over this.

    Do you have an antivirus program installed? If so, run a scan. If not, get a good one (Symantec, McAffee) and run the scan. ASAP

    Also, be aware that your CDF credentials might have been compromised.

    For people like me who hate spending money on software, here is a link to some pretty good and free programs, my primary machine is a MAC, but on my windows machines, I'm using the Avira Antivir (Virus), SuperAntiSpyware (Spyware, Trojans, etc.), and Threatfire (Intrusion Prevention, Trojans). All work very well, I have tested them for personal use and work use. You are going to get a one window pop up on the Avira program when an update of the virus definitions is completed, but it's a small price to pay for free software. They also have Firewalls but be careful with those, they are not for the average user. Hope this helps.

    This explains some of my posts on here... I need to change the password to something more secure... like "cavediver"

    I recommend 'password'. No one will ever guess that.
