    Thank you. I have uninstalled it, I shouldn't be so quick to take up offers assuming they were safe.

    Best to run a scan as often these sort of programs appear to have disappeared but haven't. I use search & destroy and never download anything I don't trust. (not meant as an insult to you just want you to make sure your data is protected).

    fairyclicks, what do you think about this mypcbackup scam being on Swagbucks? As you were the one who originally started this thread way back...

    bubbling boilers.... Just done a brain juicer and cedric stole my swagbucks.
    Completed and filled in the any other comments after the completed screen and then got sent to the disqualified swagbucks page.
    Put a ticket in but can not see anything coming off it like usual.

    Cedric's too bloody busy sexing it up with spiritwood.

    I once had a virus that posed as a Microsoft related thing and I stupidly fell for it and had big computer problems. Fortunately since then I've become a lot more computer savvy and now I am very careful, it is easily done as many of us know.

    I think it is bad that Swagbucks are encouraging people to join a scam site but I guess they don't vet sites as long as they can pay them!

    Just done a survey through TP (Opinions Survey), got the thanks page at the end but no Sb's applied to account :(

    They've not been crediting properly for ages now. Send in a screenshot and TP pay up very quickly.

    Hi,

    I have also had a problem viewing the daily survey screen. However, i have found a workaround that may work for others.

    In firefox, i opened up the daily survey screen then selected 'view' from the toolbar and changed the 'page style' from basic to no style.

    I was then able to add my email/ethnicity details etc. When i started a survey i reverted back to the 'basic style'.

    I have had a quick look at google chrome but there doesn't appear to be a similar option of changing the page style.


    What a great fix - thanks. I don't have firefox but did similar in IE. Went to view, style, and picked 'no style' rather than default. That brought up the filling in details page and the tick boxes. The formatting was still off, but at least you could access.

    Sadly (and unsurprisingly) there weren't any surveys available for me after all that, but at least I know that rather than assuming I'm missing out!
