[quote=Pip]Has anyone ever had any kind of issue with NoScript when trying to submit to the Neopian Times? I have neopets.com whitelisted but I keep getting an error where it says Noscript detected a filtering error and then I am unable to submit my story =/ I even tried allowing the whole page and was still unable to submit maybe its just a glitch I'm just nervous because I clicked on a fake tarla board recently didn't click the link though[/quote] Those nasty fellows have nothing better to do and add cookies to tarla boards adding a CG to the link :( Jes' a lame ol' shoppe http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=icaunus

The Keyscrambler is telling me I have an Encription Module Error. Did I do something wrong? Hm. Thanks for posting/writing all of this Dmitri!

I am not sure if this is the best place to post, but I figured since this topic is about CGers, I'd post here. I just got Google Chrome today, as a 3rd browser, as it has some features fox doesnt. Anyways, is anyone familiar with a site called Neoronic? When I was SSW sniping, one of the user shops that had a worthy snipe, caused GC to stop the page from loading, and said there was malacious code within the page, from Neoronic.com SO, is Neoronic a grabber site? Or is GC just being silly?

I got me some trogan viruses in my computer. I'm reformatting it in the next few days (after I post my advertisement)... any advice if this is a good idea? I've already searched all the cookies of my computer which were detected as a threat. Blocked them and deleted them. Not sure if this is enough. Hopefully my neopets' account won't be jeopardized.

Reformatting can be a real pain, but whenever I suspect the slightest bad problem, thats exactly what I do. I do not trust any removal program to fully protect me, and in all the years of being in IT, one of our tasks, were to try to get such programs to fail (aka googling bad things on said computer, to see if the program would protect as it should), and most of them eventually failed. Now by reformatting, I mean a complete wipe of the HDD and a clean install (scratch), not "recovery" or repair, that leaves behind documents and stuff. After reinstalling the OS of your choice, running and patching all updates for it is my next step (this is especially important for XP users, and other windows OSes). The only drawback, depends on the infection. The biggest pain, is backing up any of your documents and stuff like that (and any neo addict probably has a TON of coding text files, graphics, etc etc). If the infection is bad, it will reside within these files, and when you copy them back onto a freshly redone system, the infection starts back up again :( Thats my usual run down in sticky situations. The battle of the infections is one that is everlasting, sadly. Hope you get your computer cured soon :D [font=Courier New] -------------------------------------------------------------- The STUFF - Mainly Codestones @ reasonable prices http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=whispering_acara&misc [/font]

Embedding a virus into graphics is hard though. Would have to use an exploit but i think that exploit was patched a long time ago -------------------------------------------------------------- [url=http://www.neopets.com/pirates/smugglerscove.phtml?thanks=24698]Get a SuAP[/url]

Oh lookie! You've found us, Neoronic! Neoronic is made of a group of friendly Neopians who are crazy about Neopets! ... This is the best I could get , probably a neopet graphics inside was from neoronic, but I didn't dare risk go in haha :D Jes' a lame ol' shoppe http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=icaunus

My computer is slow right now. I'll definitely reformat it tomorrow and save all my stuff in a number of USBs. At the moment, I got zone alarm pro to protect my computer. Thanks for the reply.
