    Checking the following settings tools internet options/advanced option/securit/ phishing filters (there is a yellow exclaimation box) is this right I cannot remove it or click the box

    yes i tried forgot password but it was just going to send an email to the compromised email account there was no secret question request, i assume this means a secret question option was not set (the ac belongs to my daughter)

    still waiting for reply from facebook

    I trust Kaspersky's online scanner, on my PC it even picks up my hacking tools as being hacking tools lol
    I always have exactly 8 suspicious files when ive run that online scan, but I know the files are definitely safe :)
