COMSUBBBS Posts: 6180 Location: Summerville, SC | Subject: RE: It was the Google ads Thanks, Don, for your time and efforts. I usually just click the link on my way over to Rontini's site when I'm finished here. Not being very computer literate, I wasn't sure what was happening. Good on ya!!!! Oh, and to let you know, I don't care what "Wishbone" Clear says about ya. Ahhh hell, I just tried it again and it showed red. The infection list reads.."Exploit Script Injection 357". Don't know if that's a help from this end or not. It's all Ric and Stoops fault for bringing their slut wars on here. Edited by Ralph Luther 2009-07-11 5:36 AM | ||
