Yes. I got two in the last couple of days ...one from so called Amazon, with all the trimmings...saying that the shipment is on its way...lol..but I do not have an Amazon account....and another from at & t that said I had purchased some item in a store in indiniesia some place and had bought the item or items using my e-mail address....lol...a lot of scams out there ...there should be a direct link on all sites like Yahoo, etc where we can send these e-mails directly to a bongo squad to look into them and trace them...like beside the spam button and delete buttons...but then all these sites would need to get together and have a common security team...lol...and I find that many sites want to use cookies which these things may come through and some , like espn, cbs, etc take a longer time to down load and often have problems just changing pages....to many have ads that stop the quick and smooth page changes...I found lately this is happening at our n f l contest site as ads are a problem...superbru...and I even got scam etc mail from a variety sources....some saying x amount of money had been put into a bank for me, others begging for same...etc...I just spam them...and never leave info in my mail boxes that have any thing to do with credit cards etc....a few years ago had a problem with mail from pay pal ,like the above ,so I stopped using same....i was entering contests and getting paid that way when I won but some where some one got my address via them...lol.....lol...for that matter , I got a home phone that was strictly private and suddenly got folk phoning me to buy swamp land out of Florida and then some prostitute calls so I called the phone company and they had sold my no to advertisers And on top of that, the phone no given to me for the phone had belonged to some one else as well...lol.i changed companies...yup...do not answer any of these e-mails and change your password often....it helps....check with your local police dept's on the scams etc going around your areas...espec. if traveling, drop into the local police or to an blog etc if they have one up....I check via goggle to see what's up and the warnings they give out...lol...it helps....in my area the elderly are being prayed upon more recently...and the pick pockets, smash and grab persons are out in force as are the mollies of gang bangers wandering around speaking easy pickings all day long and phone thier boys etc to get the property etc....and cars windows at night are smashed nearly every day as the glass is there on the ground at least a couple of days a week in the same places, lol...etc etc etc...I sometimes wonder why folk park there but the city is responsible for allowing vehicles to park in those areas in the evening so that the night life merchandisers , bars etc , a few blocks away can get customers....lol..etc....

I had the same problem at gulf stream but not the replays.....but there are a few problems when they ask to open u tube to watch the replays at times via a direct link to u tube from the track site its self...and now find one has to pay for live streaming at tracks that had same for free...a couple of tracks are changing over to paying for same in January etc....sad shape of things happening....at least woodbine and Fort Erie is free...as are harness pps at track sites with live streaming....but there are sites ,that give for ALL the Stakes races , the replays, for free, a day later, for up to the past three recent days stakes...but there are also sites that have these free stakes races as well like drf...I will list them when I have time over the holidays .....have a good night folks...

I used to have this problem with Equibase too but they must have sorted it out somehow. Here is an example of what I see. Attachment Deleted |

...the ads and cookies are always a problem for many reasons...they overlap part of the pp's, or the entries odds etc on the right side of the page, then the ads change constantly etc etc...very annoying...and some promise to remove the ads if one buys content ( s )...it is like it is done purposely etc etc...very annoying...

Never, ever, got anything like that since a switched to a higher end protection program = ESET NOD32 Antivirus. It's not as good as what I had at Boeing but it's a heck of a lot better that what I had with Mcafee. If it catches something it can't be sure of, I get a msg about it and I make the decision to block it, cancel it or accept it. I learned about at Microcenter where I took my PC when I caught a virus. That was several years ago. BTW - if you have a Microcenter close to you, I strongly suggest you go there if you ever need service, a new computer or any peripherals you might want or need. And the prices are easy on the wallet.

i bought a thousand dollar computer about 4 years ago and got a virus after only having it for about 4 months...i had mcafee and other protection then changed to bells as they offered me the antivirus protection for free for a year and a half so i changed over but mcafee and bells were not compatible so i removed mcafee etc and 2 weeks later got 4 trogens, and 39 other virus and worms etc at the same time..that could not be removed and after talking to i t persons they said it would cost about two hundred plus to remove them but it was no certainty they would be removed completely so i took the comuter out behind my building and smashed it to bits....i have not used bell since...i found out that this happened to many persons who used bells anti virus crap...and they took off the ads promoting the anti virus from the side of their service trucks soon after....lol...i never remember any one having problems with mcafee with that little anti virus 'i' symbol working together...i have forgotten the name of same...i did get warnings but i got them with mcafee and they let one know how many viruses etc they stopped every day...lol..bells did not stop them...nor did rogers if i remember right...
