Honestly, this really is for your own good. I bet that if you disable all plugins and extensions, this problem goes away. If you have JavaScript enabled, you REALLY need to upgrade, or you're asking to get cracked. Ditto if you access any SSL-enabled sites. I'm personally extremely unhappy to get stuck on the upgrade treadmill, but today's malware environment pretty much requires it. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
