These sort of sneaky tactics may not be confined to Google Chrome, as pointed out by various experts, when you read more on this subject matter from around the net..........FF, Pale Moon etc could well all be in the firing line too........with their extensions/add-ons...............IE seems like the best bet from a Security point of view. As I mentioned in another thread, I like IE11.........if it could render its fonts properly and if it was compatible with all websites.......which it certai

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3" id="3434929"] Not sure using Chrome at all is a good idea until the problem is solved. I check my computer once a week...and no baddies (signature based). Going heuristic might be a solution. By the way, if they're doing this to Chrome, who says the rest are safe? [/quote] Doc...........most AV/malware software will not detect this sort of stuf

Don't know about your Fences issue.........but I'm running 8.1 with IE 11 and the Wincustomize website runs fine for me. Very snappy but I hate how IE 11 renders the fonts on every web page, not just WC. They are very blurry so I too, have switched back to Chrome. When will Microsoft so something with their font rendering???.........It's pathetic............IE 11 is very fast and a great browser but the 'font bleed' is awful.

To me, it's refreshing and enjoyable to play with something new after 7...................plus all the Stardock apps are great add-ons and compliment the whole OS from both the 'eye candy' and productivity points of view.

Last weekend I took the plunge and put Windows 8 on my main machine and I must admit I am enjoying the experience. Admittedly, the Stardock apps make it even better..........but after week of finding my way around I can honestly say that the experience has been a good one. Things of note:- Fast boot time. Like the Start screen set-up. Some great apps although quality in some areas are lacking........hopefully that will improve. IE very very

Just about to drive downtown where I'm helping at an event where we're giving a Xmas meal to about 4000 people that are not so fortunate as our family. It's called Father Woody's Xmas...........everyone gets a two course Xmas meal and the kids get an Xmas present from Santa. Then it's back to work on Monday...............then off from Tuesday till the following Monday with the wife and kids............There's plenty of snow up in the Rocky's so we&#39
