No problems here. How about giving more details of the alert you receive?

I had exactly the same thing a couple of days ago. I was going to mention it on here, but the alerts came so fast I could hardly do a thing! I gave up and closed down this forum and did other things (it was only happening on this site). When I did finally come back on here, all seemed to be ok. I didn't alter any settings or anything. The problem has just gone away for some reason

I have had the odd alert, as I recall "perl overflow" but only only my laptop wihich has Norton Antivirus, I have never had a problem from my P.C. ( without Norton ) or if I have checked the site from somewhere else. So perhaps it is an antivirus conflict, I am sure this has been mentioned recently. If you have similar problems it might be worth mentioning what systems & antivirus you have, as well as the error message, this will give more information for the IT experts on the forum to go on.

Paul to get rid of perl overflow alerts just switch off script debugging in IE settings and it will never pop up again. It isn't actually anything to be that concerned about. The norton security thing? ah well don't get me started on Nortons over-bleedin-active security suite. Personally I wouldn't have anything branded Norton or Symantec anywhere near a machine of mine but that's just my opinion. At work we have had several Teachers install Norton on their College laptops and totally stuff them up. We have spent hours trying to reconfigure to get rid of stupid conflicts to no avail so our advice now it just to not install it. The windows XP SP2 firewall if properly set up does a MUCH better job, coupled with the beta Microsoft antispyware and your laughing... all for no money whatsoever too.

i agree with vulcan about norton ,i hate what it does to the system for firewall i use zone alarm (its free ) and for antivirus i use avast 4 home edition its free it updates every few hours and it has caught every thing that has been out there so far just google for it then register it and you get 2 years free after that uuninstall and reinstall re reg and 2 more years
