    I don't know about this but I can't access some sites with out the "Yahoo! Browser have encountered a problem...." And sometimes I go to some weird site when I'm positive I clicked on something else. I don't know what's happening.

    Looks like no one knows anything about a Yahoo Browser. Why are you using it anyway? Do you have problems like this if you use Firefox or IE?

    I have IE and still the same results. I can't access my Xanga site but others work fyne. I can read and look at stuff but I can't submit anything.

    Sounds like you need to talk to them to find out why. Perhaps you have a setting that got changed somewhere or need to download some piece of software again. It does not sound like malware right now unless you are having other issues.

    I'm curious??
    Tell me why someone would want to have a diary online for the whole world to have access to?

    I don't know. It seems...well...fun. I don't know why I have one but I do.

    Sometimes I get the Ad1.revenue thing that says "Warning! Your system MAY BE infected..." I ran AVG and I got a Kerio firewall and it fixed something. I'm not sure it went away and the program forces you to pick between "yes" and "no". I say no but I read that sometimes it's a trick.

    I would suggest being careful what kind of info you save there!

    How do you know so much about this stuff? Just out of curiosity.

    Many years of experience with computers. Add to that the work I do as a Research & Development engineer and working the Telecommunications industry.
