    My computer is running Mac OS X 10.5.6 with Safari as the web browser. When returning to a previous page on a particular bank website a message appears saying “Are you sure you want to send a form again”. I appreciate that this is normal and part of the use protection process. However, recently the message has started appearing multiple times, requiring me to keep clicking the “Send” button. As this bank website is constantly updated, it requires frequent fresh updates involving going back to pages. As you can imagine, this message is getting quite frustrating. How can I fix this problem? (more…)

    Searching Google for specific websites returns the correct results, but when I click the link it goes to a completely different website (with a different address showing in the Firefox address bar). The computer is running Windows XP Professional with ZoneAlarm, BitDefender, and StopZilla. Additionally, I regularly use RegCure and SpeedUpMyPC to keep the system well tuned. The same issue occurs regardless of the web browser that is being used, as it also occurs in Internet Explorer. Can you provide any suggestions for the cause of this issue? (more…)
