Just had a quick lunchtime glance at the club’s main website and I was surprised to see a warning that my McAfee virus and spy ware protection programme was “blocking content that comes from potentially dangerous or suspicious sites”, are any other virus and cookie checking programmes doing it, and why has it started now? :ninja:

I don’t get it when I come on Bob’s Board, thankfully.

Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.

I clicked on one of the topics in Spireite Debate earlier and it blocked me saying it had "adult content". Can't remember which one though.

Probably the “Rotherham Stadium” thread, it is getting a little fruity.

What programmes is it happening on? I have McAfee like I mentioned, but how about Norton, AVG or that Russian one with the unpronounceable name? :unsure:

It’s not really a problem, it just make me wonder what my “spam filter” finds so dangerous on our main site, and whether it is just being over cautious or if there is something really troubling on it somewhere? :unsure:

Just a thought, but is the fact nothing is coming up on AVG a good thing, or a sign it isn’t catching what is there? Bet that has got you wondering.
