Just got a new laptop and had to re-install my anti-virus software from Computer Associates. Couldn't figure out how to turn off the dang parental controls. Every site I clicked on was blocked. Free Republic was blocked and the reason was it was listed as a "hate" site. How ridiculous!

Interesting. Did you check to see if the DUmp was also blocked as a ‘hate’ site?

I don’t have CA, but SOMETHING occasionally tries to block access to FR claiming it contains malware.
I run Avast antivirus, but I don’t believe that is the program trying to block me. There’s nothing running I can’t vouch for, though.

I have a logon to the CA tech support.
We could open up an issue.
Should probably wait till they fix the one I already have open...

I’m not sure what is worse...people who hate people who hate others or those who are intolerant of people who are intolerant of those who don’t tolerate others...

Uninstall it then go to Microsoft’s website and download Security Essentials.

I'm glad I saw your post. I'm using a file sharing site called 4share and my son in Afghanistan said he was being blocked. There were other sites he could get but I've paid for 3 months access already so I've told him to check his anti virus settings. Thanks.

Damn, I forgot to check before I finally figured out how to turn off the stupid parental controls! I'll bet it wasn't blocked though.

I just can’t tolerate posts like that. :-)

CA even blocked Webshots, which is a picture sharing site andn it also contains high quality desktop wallpaper (which is why I go there). They blocked it because they called it a "dating" site. LOL

technically not wrong... overwhelming, we hate liberals & progressives without hesitation
(at least I do... and I don’t think I’m too far outside the norm here)

4Shared is good.
Try zShare. It’s a good alternative, too.
Make sure you copy the delete link after you make an upload.
