I’ve been on Mingle2 for that amount of time. I have not ventured outside of M2. C.A. found; 3 cookies and 24 spyware on my computer. I just cleaned everything up after hitting the M2 site. I understand that M2 is a free site, But why so much spyware? In trying to understand the reason for so much spyware? mingle2?

More than likely has something to do with all these dam* ads they've recently launched all over the site. All you have to do sometimes is accidentally roll over one and the crap starts spillin in.

What is CA? We don't use spyware at all on the site. The only thing you may get are some cookies from ads, but they can't harm your computer.

Can you tell me what CA so I can check it out? I would like to see why it is giving so many false positives.

C A is “Computer Associates Anti Spyware”. This is how the ad follows.

"Targets Spyware before It Targets You
Spyware can steal your personal data, switch your home page, re-direct your web searches, display annoying ads, and slow your PC to a crawl. CA Anti-Spyware protects against a wide range of spyware threats that can expose your confidential information and diminish your PC’s performance."

And which I have noticed pop-up’s in the last two days. There could be a possibility that the cookies have been embedded or have been infected.

I hope this may help in your research. And I am not endorsing this product, simply replying to your question.

I have never had any problems with this site now or when it was JSH. Now as soon as I do a search on my computer for information and enter another site, I get problems. So maybe you entered another site and caught something from there and are forgetting you did it or something. Just saying.

I know that I did not venture anywhere else other than the Mingle2 site as stated. I was on here replying to emails, reading and posting during this time frame.
