I haven't had that happen. Do you have glitter graphics as an allowed web site on your pop up blocker and spyware? Sometimes I am asked if I want to trust a site.

Thanks ~ Hey Sandy, I've had that notice come up before, but never on GG's. Do you continue when you get that notice when entering those sites? Oh, and it hasn't happened every time I've gone to GG's, just 3 times in the past couple of wks.
I have never had that happen before and yes, my Spyware is all up to date and very good. It feels so intrusive when the words "a known attacker trying to make an attack on your computer has been blocked". Then I run a complete scan to make sure all is well. I feel very uneasy about this, but my spyware says all is well.

Your spyware is doing a great job. I didn't know it said a known attacker is trying to get into your computer. I read the first post as meaning it was blocking the site only. It doesn't sound good that's for sure. Can you get to the site long enough to grab the email address to write them and ask about it? Here, better yet, let me go there and get it for you.
OK, I'm back. Don't go look. What I am finding interesting is when I do a search for GG I see this before I click on it: Glittergraphics.us - Myspace Glitter Graphics, Free Myspace ...This site may harm your computer. Myspace Glitter Graphics for your page! Myspace, Friendster, Piczo, Xanga, & More! www.glittergraphics.us/ That's not good if it says this. I wonder if the site has been compromised recently? In my honest opinion, I wouldn't use the site anymore. I didn't even try to go in since it said that. Also, look at the address above. It does not look like the same site I used to use. I believe the address below is the right site. Maybe there are duplicate sites that are not the real company? Glitter Graphics: your resource for Myspace graphics and Myspace ...Myspace Graphics, Myspace Layouts, Myspace Codes, Myspace Glitter Graphics, Myspace Backgrounds, orkut graphics and Hi5 Graphics. www.glitter-graphics.com/ - 65k Let us know if the address you are using is the same as the one above. I don't get any warnings using that one. As mentioned, I didn't even try the first one listed.

You guys are so smart! I had problems with photo bucket and also with some emoticons (forgot the name of the site). So I don't go there any more. It is scary how many 'fake' sites there are.

I use the link that Yappy gave us a long time ago and keep it in my favorites, so haven't changed a thing. It's the second addy you provided. Geez, I got my new adaptor and have been so happy, but in the past couple of days, my monitor will go dim for a quick second and then be fine. I think my PC has more sx's than I do.
Oh, and no comments please on the DIM word!!! hahaha

however, it could just be due to the fact that those pictures/animations are in a .gif format, that sets of some anti-virus software too, encoding can hide in those kind of pictures with out you knowing it, but the threat of those are very low. another thing it might say is "tracking cookie has been detected" again, nothing really to worry about those, if you go to a suspisous site (again, myspace does this all the time for me) when ever you are opening a page on the interenet with pictures or video parts of it are automaticly stored in your computer, this is for if you ever go back to that site it will load it faster. all you need to do is delete temporary internet files, and clean your hardrive...
