It is rare that i run into one of these crapsites: check out Datak
and EmcoHighVoltage.
The last one is so bad that only powerstrip shutdown is possible.
What the hell (about the site) is happening to do this crap?


What browser and version are you using? That may be the problem.
Either an older version or browser that doesn't support the newer web
language. I use Netscape 7,and some pages don't format right,left-side is
ofscreen and no scroll-left possible.I'm switching to Firefox,but some
sites don't support that either,I've read.Seems everyone is
"standardizing"
on IE,whatever version is latest.

After years of swearing I would never give up IE -- I finally loaded firefox
for one reason only -- too many IE hostile sites -- sites that load malware
and adware to your system without your permission, and for no other reason
than that IE has too many bloody security holes.. and too many of these
breeze right by any protective software you might have installed (I run a
virus scanner and 2 adware/malware blocker/scanner apps -- and I was STILL
getting slammed !!)

got to the point that the powerstrip wasnt enough -- had to wipe and reload
to get the crap off

Ya wanna know what sucks ?? I hit a site that was firefox unfriendly (html
incompatible) so I loaded IE just that once -- and BOOM -- my file search
function doesnt work any more !! I'll have to reload again to fix that one
apparently because while one of my scanners found what got loaded (it
couldnt stop it as it installed), it apparently didnt clean up EVERYTHING
that got dumped on me

Go firefox asap -- and forget IE exists -- if a site isnt compatible with
both browsers, its not worth accessing -- this from a former hardcore IE
junkie
