lapford34102 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Think I've just had the same. Update for Firefox appeared whilst on RMweb. Suspicious as Firefox usually updates when you first open. Windows Defender blocked and removed it. HTH Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulj Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Me too. I had the same issue earlier this evening. I just restarted Firefox. Has not reoccurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinRS Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Me too. I had the same issue earlier this evening. I just restarted Firefox. Has not reoccurred. I just had the same me message from Norton again so the problem has not gone away. The site is also 'dropping' my sign-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium polybear Posted December 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2018 I had the Firefox update pop-up yesterday (I ignored it); today I'm finding that when I hover over the "ratings" options it no longer tells me what each one means - I can however apply the ratings.

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted December 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Hear in work I'm finding that I can't get the up button at the bottom of the page to work, nor can I get to my followed topics as the hover bit doesn't seem to work anywhere. We are on some old age Explorer here in work....... Andy G Edited December 24, 2018 by uax6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted December 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2018 Seems OK this morning after powering up - touch wood... Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinRS Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 No problems today. On a similar post posted yesterday some users are saying that 'Kaspersky thinks 'prototype.js' is a trojan'. On that post Andy Y is saying that problem is fixed, so things might be back to normal. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Martin.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted December 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2018 Yes, I'm getting a fake Windows Defender warning (unlikely on a Linux PC) appearing top left and a login box to some dodgy looking sites: testimergest.tk aratrebut.tk entedreprix.tk noted so far, I'm having to block them with privacy badger.

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted December 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2018 All requests to enter site via links, favourites or cookies produce a 404 error. Entering RMweb without a complete URL in Safari search brings up the home page with me already logged in. I haven’t encountered anything else unusual possibly because I use the Mac platform on all devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
