    Yes.
    I use Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, Spybot and CCleaner. Also have Ghosterly and Blur working as blockers.
    And I clear History regularly as I'm working and going in and out of sites.

    Just went in and checked all my settings on Firefox everything set properly.

    Ok - It's not my computer, it's Firefox.
    I just went in under Google Chrome and Aureliel's avatar was not blank. I saw the blue circle.

    Maybe update Firefox then? I'm among those who also have been using it & seeing Aureliel's avatar right along. There was an update recently.

    @Aureliel
    My apologies for hijacking your thread.

    We usually don't go on for so long.:shame:

    It's a very pretty pin.

    I did do that.
    Maybe I need to shut down and restart.

    It is advised to only use one anti virus program at once as they work against each other and cancel each other out.
    Also I read earlier this month Hackers have successfully breached CCleaner's security to inject malware into the app and distribute it to millions of users.

    Wow. Glad I don't use CCleaner, I believe there already were safety issues.

    Did not know that.
    Is there anything I should do.

    I suppose uninstall would be the first thing. Yes? or will that start trigger something?

    I would just uninstall it and get rid.
    Here is what it says on PC World.
    https://www.pcworld.com/article/3225407/security/ccleaner-downloads-infected-malware.html

    Each person has their own favorites for computer security, my PC engineer who is a friend of mine advises never to purchase the professional programs but always install the free ones.

    I use Avast Anti Virus and Advanced System Care both free versions and I`ve never had any problems.

    Did you not look when I posted the same link on the first page?

    All but the Kaspersky are the free downloads. Kaspersky could be another that is blocking some avatars. They just updated and they tend to be a little overprotective at times.

    From the article in your link it doesn't sound like I would be a target. Also looks like they have fixed the bug.
    Will probably uninstall and then will decide whether to re-install the newest free version of CCleaner. Good or bad idea?

    Thanks

    Kaspersky is also one of the ones suspected in the Great Russian Election Hack. Argggh.

    Sorry - Sometimes I get confused about who's replying to what when. Particularly AM local time. Got very confused on this one. :shame: (This is supposed to be what I mean,'shamefully embarrassed'; looks more like blushing with pride, not what I mean!)
