Hi guys
I have been trying to log in to the forums all day on and off but more often than not the site/my browser was behaving oddly. I kept getting the message 'cross site attack detected' in the message window when trying to post a message. I am on Win 8.1 and I'E 11 i think. Just booted up today for the first time.
Sounds ominous!

Hi yes it was when i was trying to click on the 'post answer' button when replying to post in the forums. The message appeared in the box that usually contains the message that I tried to type- the message was exactly the same font just plain text!
Not really much else I can say. I am now on a v old laptop as my newbuild didnt go according to plan
Lets just say I have to order another motherboard. It is not mine and I am not au fait with how to take screen shots. I would imagine its too late now. There is however an article on it I think in the news section somewhere - on the cross site attack thing.
I ran malwarebytes, Norton was up to date and I made sure I installed all relevant win updates before going on the internet so the chances of being infected with malware is highly unlikey I think?
