My sincere apologies to anyone who had problems with the link I posted yesterday. Let me explain a few things: First, I was frankly shocked at the claims of viruses and whatnot coming out of this video. Imageshack has been around for years, and I visit it frequently, and have never had one single problem with it. I am also a borderline freak when it comes to web security, so I have a paid-for brand name virus protection package that updates itself daily. It clears Imageshack of any potential problems every time I happen to land there. So I did a little research on Imageshack and discovered a couple of things: Yes, apparently there is a problem with Imageshack with certain computers, and the vast, vast majority of people reporting these problems: A) Are using Internet Explorer and Windows Live Messenger, both considered by many to be a crap browser and IM service loaded with security issues (Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox run circles around IE's security, and they're both free): B) Have zero virus protection running at all, a serious mistake when browsing the web. I see the link has been removed, and it's definitely for the best after reading these comments. Once again, I apologize for anyone who ran into issues with that link. I honestly had no idea. Never again, Imageshack...you traitorous monster!
