A coder can have a website drop a cookie on a pc and have that cookie say whitehouse.com, er, I mean .gov. doesn't take a whole lot of work. Someone is just trying to stir up the shit at that site.

K,
Kinda jumping on the bandwagon here, but does it matter if a user goes to https or http to browse/login to PS.com?
I know they use different ports but is there more security using the secure URL?

Were it true, the first lady of the United States would be mighty upset when she read what I've written about her and her husband in my email and PMs.

Good,, I was getting out the tin foil also.. I was getting errors from about 8pm until about 20 minutes ago??
Back on topic,, I use a share-ware pgm called: SpyBot Search & Destroy It is very good at ferreting out spy cookies and other nefarious snooping programs.
http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Sear...-10122137.html
BUT, I can't guarantee that the DHS/CAIR/CIA/FBI/ACORN hasn't put spider pgm's out that no-one is allowed to block..

Back on topic!
A few months ago, my computer got slammed big time. This was while using PC-cillin, including all updates!! My local computer heavy hitter took two days to remove the virus. He then doubled my RAM, installed SpyBot, and Spyware Blaster, along with MozillaFox as an internet explorer. Mozilla brings more protection while on the internet than Windows internet explorer. I follow directions as to how to use, scan, and update both Spybot, and Spyware Blaster; still have , update, and use PCP-cillin.
I am concerned that I saw with PS.com, and SFA having problems at the same time . What also concerns me is that today,I have come to believe that this could have come from our own government/White House. That really concerns me. Please tell me that I am daft, and should not worry!!

Happened again... I got lots of extra tin foil want I should send you my extra?
Agreed, If this could be traced back to whitehouse.gov .... no.... the MSM would not raise a stink, they would just tell us all that they are just monitoring us all for potential terrorist thinking, emphasis on think.

Put the tin foil around your computer.
I hope that in the end this is funny.
