    When you do SBTV, remember that all videos are worth the same amount of points whether they last 5 minutes or 50 seconds
    Don't forget, you don't have to watch the whole video. I find that the meter clocks up after about 40 seconds and then I can click on the next one.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    I got a 'lovely' prize from swagbucks on Friday - four very nasty viruses.
    Thankfully they have all gone now but please take care when signing up for things. I'm now of the opinion that if I am struggling to hit the days goal then so be it.

    Get rid of that, it's peer to peer and can be considered illegal. It also can provide a back door into your computer and auto-download viruses. My dad got very angry at me when I had that on my computer at 17, when I didn't really understand what that and limewire were.
    You should also run a full computer scan.

    Sorry for sounding bossy, I have a migraine and I have no filter today.

    Thanks for the advice, I don't mind you being bossy :) I have removed it from computor, but can't remember how to do a scan on it?
    Hope you are feeling better soon. My DH suffers from migraines on a regular basis so can symphasise with you.

    I agree I had that years back and it messed up my pc. I avoid any of them that require a download. It's not worth the risk.

    If you haven't got it you need to dl malawarebytes that's great for picking up stuff. Then do your normal virus scan with whatever you have on your pc

    I wouldn't do any offers where you have to install or download anything. My dad's pc was totally wrecked recently NOT ANYTTHING TO DO WITH SWAGBUCKS.

    The olny solution to get everything off after weeks of trying everything was for me to totally wipe the whole computer and re install everything. Luckily I could do this for him but it's not easy and took me all day. It's not worth the risk

    I'm with Killerpeaty and Marieuk on this one. I've only been Swagbucking for a month so am a real newbie but I would never download anything, it's just not worth the risk. :(
