Server Issues, Etc

[tusayan]

I don't know about the other software you're thinking of, but AVG will run auto scans for virus, spyware, etc.

I was told it's a good idea to runa separate firewall and I go ahead and run windows defender too. With Windows stellar record on security issues, I'm not sure what it's worth. lol

As far as I know, that should cover you.

This config was suggested to me by somebody who knows much more about it than I do and it's working fine.

I'd be interested to hear others feedback on this.

Thanks so would I i am holding off instaling anything on my main system til i have what I want so i am using my backup system now

[rosebud]

i use AVG also and have had no problem whatsoever.

[Tufty]

Personally, I use 'Avast' and have never had any problems. It's free, it updates on a regular basis (sometimes 3 or 4 times a week), it scans email and websites.

I teach and assess IT Technicians, as well as buliding and repairing computers, and I always install 'Avast' in preference to Norton or McAfee. They cost money and you have to buy updates every few years.

AVG or Avast are better options - and they're free!

Ok i installed AVG the issue i had/have with AVAST i was told to do a complete system scan you have to set it manualy you can't schedule it to do it at a paritcular time which i can do with AVG, my guess is they are 6 on 1 12 dozen of the other, PLEASE correct me withi am wrong

[Thorne]

I've been using AVG for about a year now and have had no problems with it. It updates automatically, can run scheduled scans, and handles emails with no trouble. I keep the Windows Firewall turned on, but I also use the Spybot S&D Resident/ Tea Timer, which can protect your registry from unwanted changes. I seldom have the need to access risky sites, but the couple of times I have the AVG has stopped any attacks.

For the past few days when I go on the Library and click the Main Page words the main page doesn't show up any more, I have to click on the Forums word to get onto the site...can anyone tell me what's going on? Is this a permanent thing?

[Tufty]

Erm...actually, I've never had any problems accessing any parts of the site or being logged out - except for when the site has been down for maintenance

[Torq]

Ok, folks,

99% of site all areas back up and functioning just fine.
The "Main Page" is still set-up with old 'red" page, if your entering via www.bdsmlibrary.com
It Now has a link on the 'Red" page to "Enter BDSM Library" which takes you to Main Page.

Again THANKS EVERYONE for your Patience.

Be Well

Since a couple of weeks now, I've had an error-page coming up when I try to edit a review.

Funny thing is, when I open a Forum page in a new tab, the problem's gone and I can edit my heart out. Also strange is the fact that later, when I again close the Forum tab, I still can edit.

After having closed my browser and come back, I again am unable to edit and have to open the Forum page to get rid of the error.

I'm using Firefox as a browser, and recently was upgraded to the 3.05 version. Maybe that has sumtin to do with it? Seems I for some reason can no longer add my cookie to the jar...

Ah, almost forgot: the error reads "Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/bdsmlibr/public_html/stories/review_edit.php
Line: 4"

Cheers Torq, thanks for the replies mate.


The error might turn out to be a good incentive to check my spelling

Is the forum down, or having problems? I can surf, and post this, but if I click on my profile, or try to enter the chatroom, I get a Database Error:Thiis page cannot be displayed" message. I dont know if anyone knew about this problem, and just wanted to post, to aware the admins, in case they weren't aware of this current issue.

Mitch

[ianmac31]

[tastychococakes]

[wind_dancer{W_W}]

Thank You to all the ADMINS for working on keeping this site up and running

[bondsman]

now my boredom must include crap like youtube and blasting Disturbed... but oh well... Mistress in 30 min. thanks for working on it.

[MitchC]

What's weird is that I've gotten a couple of PMs from people, but cant access my box. Its weird how they can send me things, but I cant access it.

Thank you to Torq and all the mods and admins who are working on the problem. I always appreciate the staff's efforts.

Another thing: yesterday the site seemed unreachable for a while. After I got back on, I saw that when clicking a story title, the story index (where you can see the chapters and the 'review' button) was showing-up with the HTML code visible.

Since 11PM GMT+1, that is solved, but now there's no reviews visible. Stories that have reviews still show the amount of reviews and their score, but the replies have all vanished.
