FTE hacked?

Or something. Lately when I open FTE and start reading some posts, I get one of those screens with the "Windows has ... " I don't know exactly what it says, because I shut it down in a hurry.

Doesn't happen anywhere else. I'm running W7. Sending this from my Linux machine which doesn't seem to accept the " Windows has..." deal. (duh)

Anybody else seeing this?

nope. what browser? if you are using internet explorer, that is a dinosaur that does not play well with the FTE software.

at a minimum, get the complete "windows has" screen so we can pass it on to tech and see what they have to say about it

as said, try a different browser and you will be surprised how well it works. internet explorer does not work with a lot of the new websites software.

of 7 sites i visit, only one works with IE.

Well, my original complaint did clear up for whatever reason.

As fir browsers, I use Firefox, and it works pretty well. The issue that I described only occurrred on FTE.

But as I said, all is good now,
