Default Anyone have this happen?
Hi all! I've been using Glitter Graphics ever since I've been here at NT and in the past couple of wks, my spyware has caught 3 intrusions from an attacker trying to get into my computer. Spyware blocked the attack and said the ''known'' name of the attacker came from when I entered Glitter Graphics.

Has anyone had any type of notice like that or attack attempts when using GG? Thank goodness my spyware caught it, blocked it and notified me. I checked my history and all 3 came from GG.

I've been getting them from Photobucket as well. So far my scanner has picked them up.

Thanks Anne! I wonder what's up w/that? I've used GG for a long time, but getting those ''attack'' notices kind of freaks me out.

I haven't noticed any yet, and I use GG graphics quite a bit here.

I guess this serves to remind us of the importance of having a reliable virus scanner, that's kept updated and running in the background.

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.

Dm...be sure you don't accidently hit one of the ads that glitter-graphics has. They place them pretty darn close to the buttons.

Yep..I did that one time and it set my bells and whistles off.
