If you dump your cookies before you run the app, you'll probably find nothing. They show up as a false positive.

that was proberly the reason

Speaking about trojans my computer was infected with that and we had to demolish the hard drive and start over from scratch. Just think about all those downloaded planes 😞 But now my computer runs even faster!

Great link TTT.Thank you.😉

I was wondering how many anti-programs we have to run in order to keep our systems clean.Or maybe some of them born the rubbish in order to right their usage... 😉

As far as I am aware,the flightsim world has been left alone

Apart from the Cookies as mentioned by Radarman, the scan found absolutely nothing on my HDD.

Could that be because I'm using only Firefox?

There... I've done it again... despicable behaviour that I just don't seem to be able to rid myself of.
Fortunately, my friend Greekman is never too far away to administer a dose of "Mother's little Helpers" in order to keep the all pervading calm here at Flyaway.

But, I am an actor. For the next few hours I will try my best to be just like any other conformist and utter nothing but meaningless niceties, join the 'Welcoming Committee' and not step on anyone's toes.

Oh, I mustn't forget, platitudes have a very "relaxing" effect on me and should you find that within a short time I've gone quiet all of a sudden, it won't be due to a heart-attack. I've probably just fallen asleep sitting on my chair.

But that would be welcoming news anyway... so -- all is well.

Thanks for your kind words dear Tailhook ,but i continue wondering why you shouldnt refer to Firefox?Am i missing something?
All of us talk about programs and browsers etc. i dont see something wrong with your state

Perhaps i miss something from your point and since every post of you is a deep dive in the great English language resources for me, is difficult to to get exactly what you mean....

Anyway...I would like to hear an explanation of why shouldnt refer to Firefox in simple words please 😉 ,and i take the responsibility of hijacking this topic. 😂 😉

My concern in this instance is not with Firefox at all. My concern is with the all pervading apathy that seems to have got a firm grip on these forums.

The slightest criticism of any habitually held opinion is quickly interpreted as dissension and therefore condemned.

Again and again we're being told that this is a meeting place to discuss, debate and share opinions.
If anything, I'm beginning to get the impression that this is turning into a meeting place to agree on opinions. Period. Forget debate and discussion.

I would like to hear an explanation.. ... in simple words please

I apologise for not being able to comply with your request - I blame it on my background/circumstances. If I tried to express my thoughts in simple words, it would confuse the issue even more. Hence my decision to try my hand at being a conformist for as long as I can keep it up.

For you, my friend Greekman, I'd suggest you just ignore my posts. It will free up a lot of time for you to pursue other, more important matters.

Geekman,
I'm not sure what Tailhook meant, but maybe it's something to do with the fact that anyone who doesn't use MS Internet Explorer and advocates the use of other faster, better and more secure browsers like Firefox/Mozilla (I am one of those people myself) may let themseves in for silly arguments sometimes.

😂 😂
