Help needed
How can you tell your computer's been hacked into?
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

Re: Help needed
groucho marx would have a really snappy thing to say as an answer right now.. ..im sure you could think of what itd be like
(i dunno, why dont you look for a really tired lumberjack)
(i dunno, but that pile of woodchips is probably a good place to start)
(i dunno, but that hole in the side sure looks promising )
(i dunno, did you look for a third rate comedian inside of it?)
(i dunno, but if it starts telling jokes like these, you can be sure a hack is involved)
(i dunno, but i cant tell my computer anything)
(i dunno, i cant tell it anything, have you tried?)
*ashes a cigar on your desk*

(i dont know the real answer.. and probably, neither would groucho)

Re: Help needed
look it might have been hacked. Or something. You can send them a message (although without email that could be cahallenging...) and ask them WTF? I bet they have a FAQ on the issue.
Aside from that Google the issue - and see what the nerd out there in internet land say.
I'm not techy, but that's what i would do to start with

Re: Help needed
I've had that happen and so has Trish. It was just a matter of doing a complete shut down and cold reboot. It seemed something in the browser security was all screwed up.
Rebooting solves 90% of my puter problems.

What happens when you try? Do you get an error message you could give us, or does it just do nothing?

Re: Help needed
I usually open internet explorer and try that. If that works I know my Firefox needs to be updated...
