I’m not a computer guru so I don’t know if this means anything or not. While I was on this thread and at exactly 9:03 p.m. my computer security system popped up saying that there was a HIGH severity risk, an intrusion attempt, and that it was blocked. It was an HTTP Suspicious Executable Image Download. I have the attacking computer’s number and URL.

The only window I had open and the only program running was Windows and this forum. Does that mean anything? Or can an attack come in spite of where I am in cyberspace at the time of attack?

Somebody posted a picture, or link, that your computer security software had tagged.

It’s only a picture or link. Don’t go back and click on it.

No worries.

I’m running a corporate version of Symantec and it has never given a warning about FR.
