    They don't count towards your SBTV limit if that's what you mean, Russs
    Naa, to your PL survey limit I mean heh. I just don't want to watch them then find I'm losing out on more profitable surveys.

    No I don't think so Russs. I think that limit thing just refers to the surveys

    Well I just snagged £50, it asked for verification but I could either do it via email or by answering my security question. I used my security q and it went through straight away. Have enough to get a £25 too, but think I'm actually going to use some of my bucks to get US giftcards for my US rellies. Unfortunately, I missed Barnes and Noble which was yesterday apparently! Doh

    Just a flag to all, I have updated my Avast and it is having to work overtime to keep the swagbucks site clean. 9 attempts were made to track me this evening, mostly from social networks and adverts according to Avast. Also web analytics which it allowed.

    Hi Wizzbang. I;m running free avast also and in the last 6 mins i've had4......no, 8 threat alerts popping up, tho saying they are blocked. I keep getting notification to update when I log on, but haven't as I wasn't sure it was to buy the avadt or not. I'm running a quick scan also. Any advice please? The virus being blocked is a win32 Faheit (or something!).

    I suggest you download and use Malwarebytes to do a scan of your computer

    Hi Cally, thanks for your reply. I've had a few different ones come up too, I am struggling to keep up, same as Wizzbang was when they made their post. I don't know why I am getting these alerts today as I have only done 2 DS (Toluna and Brain Juicer), games and some vids and some searches. the only other sites visited were Mothercare, Amazon and Harrods. I have Malwarebytes, but not tried it in a while as last time it came up with 3 alerts, but then froze, happened a few times. This wouldn't be a ploy by avast to buy it would it?
