Also if you update to Adobe Reader 9 (at least) it shouldn't even be an issue. Also, if you don't mind me editorializing, you can save a lot of money by cancelling your antivirus subscription and using your computer in a responsible, safe fashion instead. -------------------- blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Signatures suck. Oh, and this is what ELSE I do with my free time... http://www.soundclick.com/singlewhiteinfidel If you need help, PM me. But make sure you've spent some time on it, 'cause I'll only help you if you've shown me that you have some real thought process. Oh, and it sounds obvious, but apparently I have to remind you to tell me what level you're on. Oh, yeah, and don't email me unless I say so.

Simple googling revealed that your "trojan" is related to banner ads exploiting a bug in HTML IFrames. I don't have banner ads and I don't use IFrames. -------------------- blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Signatures suck.

What changed? -------------------- Currently working on 82. Feel free to PM me with what you have if you need a nudge on any level 1-81; please follow the usual guidelines for requesting hints.

I now have no excuse for finishing 90 except for being lazy. Works for me, I guess.

I'm not doing hints. I'm a PM packrat and I don't want to clear the space for more. Sorry.

It could be a problem for some people. Avast kept locking me out of random Weffriddles pages until I added http://www.weffriddles.com* to my exception list. Some less-savvy users might find some unexpected 404s and just assume they're getting problems wrong, even when they're not.

(Also, the Google search I did on the iframe in question looks sketchy, so I'm a bit scared about going back to those levels while they're still on those pages.

)

Yes I will help you, but I can no longer guarantee a fast response.

My star moment (in thought): Hey, we should put links on the forums so we can get to the level we're on faster! *sigh* *shakes head*
