BREAKING NEWS: TSR INSTALLS SPYWARE!
Sanyia:
I mentioned no script to my hubby last night, the resident techie in our house. I remember him mentioning it before but as most wives do, I often tune him out so only remembered the name and not much more about it. He said it can be a big pain with all the notifications but now that Leticron has giving me a way to turn it off I'm going to give it a try. ;D
jriggs:
Oh, I absolutely use ad block and no script now. This problem at TSR goes back so long that I had issues before I knew about any of them. The fact that we very recently had many people who had virus and other issues from their ads again simply means that it is a problem that they know exists and still have done nothing to fix. I want people to understand that you do not have to click on anything or download anything to be at risk there. If you visit thier site and do not have proper protection for you computer, then you are at risk. Simple.
Marvin Kosh:
I learned recently (the hard way) that lack of protection means one day you will be backing up your data and doing a reformat from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. ;)
It's a no-brainer choosing between free content which doesn't put your system at risk, and paid content which does.

This is very true, tried checking out TSR the other day and wham Spyware. Thank God I use McAfee, popped up right away and redirected me elsewhere. God no wonder I barely ever used TSR. BTW newbie here and I am awed by everyones talents ;D have a good day.

I don't know if this was mentioned, but if you installed tsrworkshop, it installs another program slimdx that it needs to run it, if you uninstall slimdx or don't install it the program won't run proper or install, but they got some nerve to write a program that installs two programs that needs to interact with each other but when you uninstall tsrworkshop, It won't uninstall slimdx, you got to uninstall it by itself, boy this is how sneaky they are to leave I am going to assume the main spayware on your machine, cause this is sneaky and that it should uninstall every program it install but tsrworkshop don't, anyways, there are way better tools out here then that crap.
