Sorry.....no ideas of what's wrong.
Perhaps you should post a 'hijack this log' in the security forum along with your concerns.
Instructions are over there on where to download and how to use, as I remember.


It's too ate now, but when you get straightened out, perhaps you should think about imaging your OS partition as a quick restore option.

Seagate/Maxtor offers a free imaging app to owners of their products.

Try rebooting the computer you are on, and then attempt to get back to TSG - you may have to login again if the cookies were wiped. Just trying to advise that your platform does not sound too stable, and in those cases a reboot has always helped me get going again.

I've rebooted no help. It is not just TSG that I can't access but my Yahoo mail accounts. The last time this happened was when I upgraded Roboform, and it was something simple. I'll figure it out.

I'm still running through the leak tests - not good. I did try a different firewall and the results are much better.

The only live cd's that I have are Ubuntu. That is not a bad thing it's just I'm stuck in the XP mode for now so I'm going to give Sandboxie a go.
