My internet connection is fine, I can go on any website. However, all of the poker sites I play on keep freezing, and some won't even allow me to log in.
HELP!

is the speed of your connection ok? what about uninstalling the poker programmes and then download again? try that and it might work

Speed is fine, not a problem. I have about 8 poker site programmes!
They have been working fine all day, but stopped about an hour ago.
Ladbrokes, for example, "connects to server", then "loads graphics", then freezes. It even says in the lobby that my connection is excellent.

Temporarily disable your firewall then try the sites again

Does anyone know anything about spyware? My computer keeps telling me its infected ans takes me to sites that are supposed to remove it - but i dont know if that is just part of the virus?! I have tried spybot but the problem seems to remain... any advice would be gratefully received.

Thank you. they proberly haven if its working now but some ISPs have 18 bars that people put on there accounts to stop them going to bookmakers and casinos they do this if there is a problem gambler in family or if they think there kids might use them normally you have to ask to get this service put on but i know of 2 people that had it put on them by accident mind you you proberly would even be able to access this forum if it had happened you need to update the firewall to allow the programs again as it looks like its now blocking them |
