Had virus that blocked mse!!!!

Hi folks,

havent been able to get onto MSE for ages, I thought it was a problem with the mse server but it would seem i've had a virus or bug that prevented me connecting to this site!!! been able to get everywhere else but not on here. Wonder how many others have had the same problem? conspiracy theory springs to mind ? lol

never mind - nice to be back. Gosh I've missed you guys. Still been doing dfw stuff along the way but will be doing yet another soa asap.

welcome to all the newbies.

    think the site has been having problems today....all I was getting was the MSE message screen saying sorry we have a glitch.......they could be working on the servers again, as per message at top of page....
    Sorry we're tweaking the new forum servers. Things may be slow this week!

    It'll be the credit card demons at work!
    They'll have to do a lot better than that to stop MSE!
    Welcome back.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    A week or two ago I couldn't get onto the site at all. Thought it was a problem with MSE but MSNd another member who told me that the site was ok. I cleared my cookies (ran CCleaner) and got back onto MSE no problems.

    Dunno why though :confused:
    Just run, run and keep on running!

    We had a problem all of yesterday but it wasn't just the MSE site, it was everything. Cleaned up the computer (well, ok, hubby did but he showed me what to do for next time) and now we're running fine. I hate computers when they don't work!
