Has anyone else's computer crashed while logged into USMB ?
In the past month or so, it's happened to me about half a dozen times....the site will freeze up suddenly and then my screen will say "No Internet", and I have to bail and restart it.

I think it's those rogue FBI scoundrels like Stzrok and McCabe doing it.

Haven't experienced this . . . yet?
 
Please, please, please ... let the hacker be Halle Berry from "Swordfish"!

Could be your browser. :dunno:
I haven't had many problems. Then again, this OS is about as secure as I can think of getting.
Hardened kernel and everything. :D

I don't think that there's any question that there are trolls and hackers here. Trust no one.

It's on Google Chrome most of the time, but I'll check it out on IE and see.
I don't remember, I assume you're using Windows. Windows 10?

If so a recent Windows update turned off the sandbox in Chrome leaving Chrome users wide open to attack. The fix caused some files to be deleted........ Back up Chrome, uninstall it then reinstall it, see if that fixes the problem.
 
I usually just wait until the hacker's curiosity gets the best of them and they just have to ask if anybody has noticed them, like you just did.

Yeah I found that out starting a 9/11 thread.
Anyone asking questions or suggesting the government's hiding
something is quickly labelled a 'truther' and banished to the conspiracy theory board.

Oh and IE is soooooo yesterday, Edge Chromium has replaced IE.

Yeah.. Me too.. But I've identified the problem and it's just that Comcast is technically inept and BARELY functional... That's besides having the worst customer service EVER. Have to pull the POWER to the cable modem or set top box about twice a week to get it to recover...

In electronics engineering -- that's an ADMISSION of basic design flaws...

We like our Conspiracy nutz and the Conspiracy forum.. Some good threads in there.. The govts always hiding something.. Like their integrity, honesty, or the black boxes from Flight 93..

But HACKING implies they're TAKING something valuable or denying you access.. And if all it takes is a reboot -- it's probably not...

Interesting, I use Comcast and don't have that problem but I use my own modem not theirs. As for the cable box the only issue I have with it is volume control on different channels. It's a problem they've known about for a while and still haven't fixed it.

I think I've only had to reset the cable box twice in the last year. Same with the modem but it turned out to be a system interruption on Comcast's end.
