Hi Dwarden,

If that's so, it will be corrected. Time will tell. I went to the download hyperlink, and that I scanned with DrWeb hyperlink-scanner, as it is OK. Could you copy that spywareterminator is not a rogue program?

PS Dwarden, must we conclude here that siteadvisor is a mixed blessing???

pozdrawiam,

Damian

The one thing I have noticed since installing the firefox siteadvisor extension is when I first open firefox (my default home page is blank, so it shouldn't have to check that) it tries to establish a connection, so it pops up the dial-up connection window.

I only wish it were more polite like avast and check for the presence of an connection not try to establish one.

I've checked the very limited settings, but nothing to stop it attempting to connect.

I've uninstalled the extension now, it also slowed my browsing (on dial-up), plus I don't vist many dodgy sites these days ;D
