  • I have had to do a factory reset on my computer as it has been driving me mad, locking up, running slow etc. I reinstalled the toolbar but chose the wrong option so it installed onto IE, Chrome and Mozilla which I didnt want it to do.

    I uninstalled it, but it was still showing on Mozilla but not in my programs list. The machine locked up again so I thought i'd try to reinstall the tool bar so I could then uninstall and see if this cleared it.

    This time McAfee picked up malware, spyware etc etc and gave a red warning :eek:. I think it installed PC Doctor which may have "hidden" the bad stuff. It is gone from Mozilla after reinstalling Mozilla, but on IE it cannot log me out due to an error. If I clear the history and go back on the SB website I have to log in but the minute I'm logged in my goal board is not working and I cannot log out again.

    Anyone else having any problems?
    One small step for ME, one giant leap for my family!

    I've copied the codes to a spreadsheet as I'm saving up for something specific (aiming for a Wii U), and don't want other amazon purchases to affect it.

    As the gift cards are purchased and i have the codes I don't think that if SB goes bust then they would become invalid... (or at least I hope not!!)

    Just in case you didn't know, you can add them to your amazon account but when you purchase anything else, you can just select to not pay with gift certificates and to take the money from your bank card. (I'm doing the same myself:D)

  • I have just been doing the Yes/No tasks and had two which were plagiarized but they said I was wrong and they are correct. I marked its not fair but have now been stopped from doing them, should I do anything or will they check and sort it? Thanks

    AFAIK, leaving a comment at the bottom of the error page does nothing. You need to open a ticket on the forum. Click "Help" in the upper-right corner, copy your Contributor ID and Job ID, and then "Get Support". Open a ticket in the forum describing the problem, and include your Contributor ID and Job ID.
