   Remember when Bigfish was triggering alarms for IT'S games?
   I just wonder if some anti virus programs are being a bit over cautious as was found in that case...
   Terri, DEFINITELY be careful if a popup window offers to help(but you already know that)
   :)

   Malwarebytes is a terrific anti malware program as Graylox kindly said..(easy to run even for non geeks, of which I am one..lol)
   It might be worth trying..

   Can you have this in addition to an anti-virus program and a firewall? All at the same time? Thanks.

   Terri, have a look at: Again some links for additional security software

   I run these tools on demand. That means, they are not always scanning like your Anti-Virus. They do not collide with the firewall and play well with the Anti-Virus software. You should in any case read the manual. They are freeware and you can buy a pro version. More tips on: The Best Free Security Software for PC

   Terri, you can have malwarebytes along with your anti-virus because it's an anti-spyware program. It's also excellent btw and has helped me in some spots with infections when others failed. I keep the free version of Malwarebytes on my PC and laptop along with a paid AVG security suite which has everything including the FW (if that is what you were asking!, lol).

   Terri your earlier comment that stated,
   

   I got that thing that mimics your Security Center saying my computer was infected.

   
   , worries me!!

   That sounds like a malware Trojan:
   Trojan.Zlob.N

   See the following URL for more info:

   http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2007-050812-3659-99

   This Trojan usually displays the following windows and alerts:
   Protection Center
   Warning! Spyware threat!
   Critical System Warning!
   System Alert: Malware Threats
   System Alert: Trojan-Spy.Win32@mx
   Security Alert: NetWorm-i.Virus@fp
   System perfomance monitor: Warning
   Security Alert: Spyware found
   Critical System Warning!
   Internet Explorer Alert
   Security warning: New variant of SpyBot@MXt

   Do you get any of those messages?

   Just a heads-up!

    Hi everyone. Have you played Delicious - Emily's Holiday Season ? Since they will never give this game away, I am thinking of purchasing it. As far as I know, this game was one of the most popular ones in 2009. Would you recommend it?

    Posted 14 years ago #

    Yes, I have it. Emily's Holiday Season is a good game. Why don't you just sign up for a funticket trial and get the game with that? It is only $6.99 + tax a month.

    Not a problem, I post tomorrow's game here for people so they don't miss it. I know not everyone goes to gamehouse.com everyday so if they know tomorrow's game which can only be seen by Funticket, gamepass, or funpass members and if you don't have one of those you can't see it till the day of the giveaway. I post it early to make sure that no one misses a game they want.

    Has anyone had trouble with Panda Craze? (given away a short time ago)
    It was working fine, but now I get an error message, "Can't create renderer. Please reinstall the game". Never heard of "renderer" and of course I can't reinstall the game. Any suggestions out there?

    What happened to the spider game?

    You didn't miss much. It's pretty much the same game as the one that comes on your computer. I didn't think the "extra" games were any different and I didn't particularly like the graphics.

    Terri, I wasn't going to download the spider game for me. I was worried about you, because I remember you telling me that spider was one of your favorite games or you favorite game. I was also worried that I missed to tell you what tomorrow's game was. Tomorrow' game Youda Sushi Chef is really good game. I think I played the online version already. I just never had the opportunity to purchase with a funticket because I want so many games.

    I downloaded today's game not bad, but I know I never announced that game and it kind of made me feel bad.

    I appreciate your concern Michelle. I joined the free trial of Fun Pass so I could play the new Mortimer Beckett game so for the next 5 days (or until I cancel) I have access to tomorrow's free game. Tomorrow's is Marooned! a Hidden Object game. Gotta go now and play like crazy to finish as many as I can before the 7 days are up.

    So you're not keeping it? And the link to Marooned http://www.gamehouse.com/download-games/marooned

    I wouldn't keep it either. I had Verizon games on demand and we ran into money troubles and I had to cancel and lost everything.

    I think if I do join a club like that, I will go with Shockwave instead of Gamehouse. It's just my personal preference.

    I downloaded Marooned today and just opened it to make sure it would play and I was surprised that the FunPass superceded the free game. Does anyone know if it will revert to a free game with ads once I cancel FunPass or will I lose it completely? And does anyone know how to access hints? I don't see any place to do it.

    You will probably still be able to play the ad version. I wouldn't sign up for a funpass trial. I would only be canceling it and loose everything it is a waste of time I think.

    You better cancel before they bill you.

    Believe me I have it written in big bold letters on my calendar to remind me to cancel 2 days before it expires and I already alerted my bank to a potential dispute.

    Tomorrow's free game is Blood Ties which they gave away once before.
