khj: I didn't get them. My mailman apparently has forwarded them to you! Nov 1, 2024 3:35:40 GMT
khj: Not sure which software you are using, Mia. The latest update to Norton antivirus has flagged/blocked several forums & image hosts. As usual, a "feature" becomes an annoyance, requiring you to add exceptions when none is necessary. Nov 1, 2024 3:37:38 GMT
khj: Another reason to ditch Norton (which I did over a decade ago). Although I do miss using Norton Utilities/Tools. Ironically, I haven't had a need to use that in the past 10 years! Nov 1, 2024 3:38:34 GMT
