I feel like Chicken Lilttle...

Tuesday, February 10, 2004 by goodmorphing | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

All of the patches MSN offers... I get used to them. So now there is a new warning... ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4233357/ ).

So is it that bad, in your opinion?

I feel so saturated with critical patches... do you think it will ever stop?

I do *not* have my userID and password set to auto fill
I do have a firewall, but I allowed the request to go to CDDB when it asked.

(additional information thrown in just for the heck of it): I have never had a problem with it until I installed the updates. It is totally possible that the CDDB site is down atm, nice coincidence, but possible

The error is described as an 'internet error'

Also, I use XP and have a total of 3 users on this machine, so I go through the regular multi-user sign on screen.

za is showing that the jewel case creator was allowed to access the internet

Do two things:

In ZA config, go to Privacy and clean out cache files, then go to the site list in the privacy section, right click on the site and select options, then you can customize the site thru that window. It probalby has something to do with third party cookies or the private header information.

Hmmm...and here our conversation will probably end. I have the freebie ZA version. I've got a DSL router with NAT enabled, so I don't really think I need to spend the $$ for the full version. I use ZA just to block/allow stuff leaving my machine.

It's been so long since I played with the free version ...you should be able to put that site in the trusted zone. Since you have Nat, disable ZA long enough to see if it works.

hmmm I went back and looked at all my previous editions and all their hot links are like that. I've been getting this emag for years.

ct.com.com/click?q=fc-WpomQVwl4uiWGxel5AU9A6Ma5dRR

I deleted the http prefix so it wouldn't show up as a link

That is typical of their links.

I take that back...I think they have a problem. It comes up unavailable and then on a re-fresh it's off to another site.........I'll have to do a trace and see if it's actually going to a re-direct on their site (which is fine), but Mcafee is going nuts when it does it....will let you know.

There all on their site and yeah, I've used them for years too...never noticed the com.com before, but it surprises me they didn't change their addy's since that's how the spoofs work. Both McAfee and ZAP killed the link. Guess those proggies are a little over zealous, but at least I know they work

BTW: where are we with your problem?
