    Second target of 1070, with a low bonus of 74.


    Don't forget that today is supposed to be the last day of the giftcard sale.

  • Hi all
    29 is my target today too.
    Strangely my anti-virus is blocking everything SB like today, even if I click on a search, then the link it generates - it tells me there is a trojan attached to the website.
    Worrying.

  • Hi again
    I've googled it. Seems there are pages and pages of folk and antivirus people saying there is a genuine threat to your personal information if you install the SB toolbar and change your search engine.
    I am disappointed, I saw this as a genuine way of earning a little extra before the baby arrives, now I'm concerned about the security of my laptop.

    As long as you have a good anti virus program, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    Yes - there are sometimes problems - but these are more the advertising partners they have on the website and not swagbucks themselves.

    Many thanks
    Currently using ESET, which I was recommended, but every link SB generates or offer I click on is now blocked due to the trojan mentioned previously.
    Works fine if I use other search engines, google etc.st
    Just downloading a malware program to see if it fixes it

    If it's happening consistently today it may be that the companies are showing the same malicious ads. It might revert tomorrow to normal though :)
