Site scripts

[RonB]

Currently I have to allow scripts from sites I visit if I want all the content. I usually just allow sites I recognise, but I constantly see sites that I don't recognise, (such as "aolhat.com" and "atwola.com" - I think the first one is part of aol?). Should I be allowing them for "trusted" sites? How about sites I just visit once? And should I "allow" or "temp. allow"?
Thanx,
Ron

I never had to mess with those at all till I recently started using I-E. I actually prefer NetScape & FireFox, but unfortunately this creaky computer, now running Windows ME instead of Windows 2000, succumbs to The Blue Screen Of Death oftener when FireFox is running, so I bow to the technologically inevitable & browse with I-E. So it goes.

As a result, even to add a picture or a link to a TUG-BBS entry I 1st have to click on something saying it's OK to allow "scripted windows" -- whatever the heck those are. Sheesh.

My son the computer scientist says maybe in the fall it will be time to consign this semi-ancient home-made computer to the basement Museum Of Obsolete Technology & go with some newish 1 that's about to come out or that's recently come out -- a Minnie Mack or some such that he says is really good. Wait till the prices come down, he says. OK. I'm waiting.

Ron ~~

ATWOLA.com is a bad website ~~ I use a program I devloped to run on my puter to catch these kind of trackin websites ~~ You can enter them in your "Internet Options", "Security" & "Restricted Sites" ~~ Then click-on "Sites" & enter the above ".com" or whatever you find that doesn't belong on your puter ~~ It could be ".net" or it explains how to do it ~~ It works for me ~~ :annoyed:

Also do the samething under "Privacy" then click -on "Sites" ~~ Keeps them varments off your puter ~~
