Make sure your site is secure!
« on: July 27, 2018, 02:17:25 pm »
I had something strange happen to me today when I was typing an answer on a survey. All of a sudden it wouldn't let me type and had a set of 3 c's with symbols above them in parenthesis. very strange because it happened to all the surveys I opened after that. I had to close them all and then I restarted the computer and now it's fine. Be careful because I noticed that sometimes the site is not secure!

I thanked you for the heads up. You're absolutely right.

you should always be secure no matter where you are... I always have my virus scanner running among other security programs, and keep everything updated

That is something good to keep in mind.  My virus scanner is always running; I haven't been able to open the page on the daily email or the PTC "offer"--- they are always blocked as a threat.  I still get credit, but I am glad Avast blocks them if they are a problem.

I have an Apple computer and it's very secure, but there was something funny about that survey site and I never had this happen before or after that.

I also realized how different paid to click and daily emails the webpage will say it's a threat or unsecure.

My anti-virus software keeps my computer safe. It's weird you had a survey with those technical errors.

Meh. Sounds more like a glitch in the survey, rather than anything malicious.

I have an Apple also and use safari, chrome and firefox at different times. All my browsers have protections and it has become difficult to access some websites that I once easily accessed because of non secure issues.

This is happening on Fusion Cash as well as my other sites. There is something going on "out there".

Be careful about adware and malicious sites because my computer has gotten infected and I had to call Apple Care for help more than one time.
