[i]Seems lately, with no regularity, with attempting to logon to Gmail the attached pops up… Obviously I don’t accepted it but it is of concern…
I’ve using Firefox 2.0.0.17 and when this happens Google Search is gone too… I can sometimes get around it by shutting down and rebooting or I can keyin “https://mail.google.com” and get into Gmail. Sometimes even doing that brings forth this alert but saying no to it and clicking on “Go” on the toolbar works…
Did a full scan this morning with Spybot S&D and SUPERAntiSpyware and AV scan with Avast!.. I’m using a (pre-Symantec) version of Sygate which has been working perfectly for my OS.
Has anyone else had a similar problem lately? Is there anything else I can try to eliminate this issue ???[/i]
Sounds like something/someone has changed your DNS settings. Check your DNS settings. Make sure they are set to obtain automatically or manually entered to your ISPs servers.

I was hoping that you’d jump in here since I’ve noticed that you’re a Gmail user… For the record this happens on both Firefox (my browser of choice) and IE (my least favorite)…

As Johnny Five in the movie Short Circuit would say: “Need Input”! I’m on dialup and don’t know that I can do what you’ve indicated…[/i]

[i]Thanks Bob I’ll take that into consideration if this keeps up much longer…
One thing for sure though, I’d never go with their 10-hour freebie since the ads take up most of the browser screen…been there, done that on my daughters computer… :([/i]
It appears that this is a problem that AOL needs to fix. However (please do not be too put off by the look of the page) there is a discussion and a way to avoid the problem for now discussed by “Josh” at the top of the page here:
