    Syd, Aye, it's an incovenience but also with new legislation etc etc I thought people should be aware. I know the finacial model for this sort of site can be funded by 'clicks' but 'I like to chose me clicks' ;) Anyway back to posting pictures of pigs deficating on their own testicles as a metaphore for Titus :D

    IE was always crashing on my lappie mate strange as it's brand new and came pre loaded with it piece of Microsoft crap that it is, changed over to Google Chrome and no crashes. As for the cookies I've had no problems with them got Norton 360 and it is set to auto so scans in the background and sorts anything dodgy out asap. If the cookies are a big thing mate turn on your cookie detector setting (or whatever it is called) and it will notify you of anyone trying to put a cookie on your PC and allows you to bin it or accept it, it's a bit of a pain though.

    Add serving-sys to the list, sorry working in IT this is a bit of a bugbear and Google Chrome makes no difference. I run a fairly agressive 'I don't want people ****ing about with my computer' set-up, in reality ANYONE who shops or banks online should do likewise. I do understand the financial model of a 'free' site BUT....

    IE is w*nk. Like MM says get Chrome or Firefox.

    Had AVG and the b*stards put a virus on my PC (well not just mine probably a few more) to test their new product. Then couldnt remove it. Tw*ts.
    Got Avast now and although 1st time you use a site its a little annoying it protects in real time, constantly updates etc and not once have I had a problem since installing it.

    so maybe this site is not riddled, that's my point Redan. So far only you seem to think its riddled, everyone else here and on the forum seems fine.

    Only chow with the site I get is that at times it's about as fast as a racing snail.
