NewsPrism -- check it out!

This is a new resource site, brainchild of Bob Seay. The pic is of the home page, where each of the publication titles is a live link.

Note: The creator of NewsPrism is Bob Seay, a rock solid Democrat. It was my privilege to meet him when he ran for Congress in Colorado's deep red 4th district against the abysmal Ken Buck.

Trojan, part2?

Here we go again, second time today.

First time: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029533611

Second time:

Tried the same steps that cleared everything the first time; not working this time.

Like with the first event, I can still open everything in a new window. But I really don't like having that thing lingering in my computer.

Any ideas??

Posted in GD for visibility in case others are being similarly afflicted.

UPDATE: Did a reboot, thing remained. Did repeated attempts with control-alt-delete and task manager to shut down browser -- it worked on the 6th attempt. This is getting tedious, ain't it?!
Thanks again, folks!

Trojan??

So this showed up when my screen image froze, purports to be from Microsoft. Obviously, I was able to open everything in another window. But I'd like to get rid of the "frozen" screen, it won't let me "X" out.
Any suggestions?



---posting this in GD in case others are having the same issue---


UPDATE: I did the control-alt-delete to task manager and ended the browser; the thing went away.

Thanks for all the help, DUers rock!
