Ad-Aware blocks my connection to www.Area51moh.com
« on: July 11, 2010, 01:02:38 PM »
I just installed the newest version of Ad-Aware Free by Lavasoft and now when i got to connect to Area51moh.com i get a response from Ad-Watch Live telling me that it  has blocked my attempt to access the malicious site www.area51moh.com. Anyone else use this and have the same issues?

I have to disable the ad-watch to be able to view our site now whereas before I have never had issues with it.

Anyone able to tell me whats up or how to fix it so i dont have to disable Ad-Watch every time i want to connect to our website or forums?

my advice is, get rid of firewalls, antiviruses and similar stuff, it works for me, those things slow down ur computer, u just need to be careful with ur steps on internet, not clicking suspicious urls, or installing weird stuffs, and stay away from pr0n sites. ha!
no, seriously. just get rid of anti-whatever softwares, unless of course that u have information of national security (or sensitivity information from ur job). back up things like photos and documents, everything else can be downloaded again.

and once in a while run an online scan.

bob the only problem with that is nowadays you can hide a virus anywhere and i mean anywhere as in pics cookies webpages

all you need is malwarebytes (run once a month) and avg avg doesnt use much cpu or memory at all and yer say and sound not had a problem in 4 years
