View Full Version : help
Anybody have a clue why i can't use smilies in my posts unless i shut down my security service ,i know it will be something simple like a setting, just thick as and don't know what i am doing
strange, Hob might be better suited to answer this, when you say security settings do you mean on windows or Norton?
I have virgin media's pc guard security running on the lap top if it helps antivirus pop up blocker and privacy manager if it helps

Are they all affected, or just some of them? I know there are 1 or 2 that are on Photobucket and the firewall we have at work blocks those ones.

Being a member of the IT crowd I can confirm that the PCguard stuff you get with Blueyonder (now virgin) is really quite a poor product. Have seen all sorts slip past it and it block alot of ok stuff.
It is also a pain to remove if I remember correctly too.
So if you deactivate that the smilies work or is it just a security setting within your Internet Browser? (Microsofts Internet Explorer I would imagine you are using).
it is all the smilies and they only work when i deactivate the pc guard

Uninstall PC guard.
start/control panel/add remove programs
Then go here to install the free anti virus program
www.free.grioft.com
Then go to
www.download.com
and search and download 'zonealarm' install the free firewall. Job done.
I've had no problems with PCGuard, works well if you do all the updates that it does.

I used that particular software before and wasn't keen made to many processess run and made the lap top hang a lot, and apart from the smilie issue pcguard works really well, as i said before it will only be a setting thing just don't know which one will just keep plugging away until i find it
