If the image doesn't show up on your screen just click on the url under it. Like I said, imageshack has been kind of iffy lately:
Maybe it's the png extension. I don't know why they do that all of a sudden.  I never had a problem posting screenshots before.

a bad scareware is Antivirus 2009 (microsoft). They take over and it is actually redirecting you to[removed site]and they want almost 50 bucks to fix the issue that they caused! Shuts down reliable access to your web browser , thus you can't get the patch. I had to revert and losses were painful. Lesson learned.
Be careful as it is not from the authentic MS Antivrus, but is merely masquerading as it.

I just had it pop up on my screen.
 The only way i could close it was by pressing CTRL/ALT/DELETE {opens Windows task manager} and closing my browser by highlighting it { I was using Firefox} then pressing the End Process button. I opened Firefox and it asked if I wanted to restore session or start a new one - I selected new one - so the AV 2009 would not pop back up again. info- Antivirus 2009 removal - if you accidentally click on it and it installs... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...al&btnG=Search
