    I used the author's link to dwnld "Download Accelerator Plus", which I saved to CD-RW(E) drive and immediately after dwnld box closed a tiny 2"x3" IE box appeared in middle of screen w/ an exclamation point inside a yellow triangle that said "tf_kw is null" and an OKAY box (which I won't click without knowing exactly WHAT it is that I'm okaying). I have a Dell Demension 2350 XP home SP2 Celeron 2.00GHz speed 1993MHz 128 MB RAM (C:)37.24 GB capacity (26.47 GB free) with DSL. I hope I've included all neccessary info , either that or I hope someone with MAGIC POWERS :) can HELP me

    Just to keep the error message in the same thread....

    This also occurs when looking at the main MG page.

    I'm also getting it. It appears to be a malfunctioning javascript from http://ctxt.tribalfusion.com that is used here at MG (probably an ad). tf_kw is a variable in that script. It had me worried for a while ...

    I'm getting the same thing in Firefox v1.07 when I go to the MG home page. :confused:
    Never saw it before today.

    Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) is advertised on the MG link as adware.

    I now use Leechget, as when I used to use DAP, Spybot, or PestPatrol, found 130 instances of adware/spyware/malware (whatever) on my PC.

    Leechget works just as well, free, no hidden surprises, and has been downloaded, from MG, many more times than DAP. IMHO, a much better solution. Bazza
