I have this forum in my "Favorites". Just now when I selected it, it took me to a "Post a reply" page... o_0 I don't get it, normally if you save something in your "Favorites" on top of an older link it asks you if you want to replace that one (as it did when I corrected this) and I'm sure I didn't ok anything like that. Oh well, mysterious are the ways of the Microsoft...

My IE at work got weird. It seems to randomly change the urls every once in a while. Like, I enter hatrack, and get a google-, yahoo- or something else-based 404 error site. Whassat?

Those 404 errors are connection problems. Your internet connection at work could be down, but your network connection could still be fine. They usually get fixed quickly and all is back to normal after some IT person plays with it.

I've gotten that before, too. I'm assuming it's a caching thing, it usually goes away after a bit and you should be able to stop it by clearing your browser's cache.

I connect through a super-secure/ sterile network, there's not a single virus or spyware on our machines, and I get that at least three times a day.

Interesting. Sounds like some kind of worm or something like that. What anti virus do you have running? Updated and all? Also, you on XP? Have you updated to Service Pack 2? It has a great firewall, popup blocker, and other security features.

see, my main problem is, I can't do much of this cause I don't have admin rights. And I'd rather not ask anyone, cause I was told about a month ago I'd have my internet shut off (company policy - one online computer per room/department) - and they either changed the policy, or forgot about me. If it's the latter, I'd be stupid to remind them.

I'm on Windows NT, we have no firewall, and the antivir is kinda crappy, but I've run a good online one and it found nothing.
