There is currently a known BSoD issue caused by Malwarbytes' Web Protection when it's installed alongside Emsisoft Anti-Malware (EAM). @AdvancedSetup may know more. A workaround for anyone who has this issue is to do the following: Right-click on the little Emsisoft icon in the lower-right corner of the screen (to the left of the clock). Go to Protection status. Select Disable Web Protection. Note that after doing this you will need to restart the computer. On Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 you will need to restart by right-clicking on the Start button, going to Shut dow

Here's a couple of FP's: PUP.Adware.Heuristic, C:/Program Files\ASUS Phoebus Audio Sound Card Sound card software from ASUS: https://www.asus.com/Sound-Cards/ROG_Xonar_Phoebus/ PUP.Optional.BTmagnat, C:\Windows\Uninstaller Uninstaller for FakeFactory Cinematic Mod 2013 for Half Life 2 (URL in a code box since I'm pretty sure there's some optional stuff for it that's NSFW): http://www.cinematicmod.com/cinematic_mod_2013.php

The critical error is "SPF MUST allow Google servers to send mail on behalf of domain." I don't want Google sending mail on my behalf, so this is actually a good thing and not a problem. When there was a problem, Google's "Check MX" tool was showing an error that basically meant there were no nameservers for the domain. Hover managed to mess something up with the nameserver information so that it wasn't usable, even though it appeared correctly in WHOIS. This meant that the domain wasn't usable, and since they didn't seem to accept that there could be something wrong on their end I don't hav

+1 Many people would be happy to have an option for the old UI.

It's possible it doesn't like your web browser. Did you try with any other web browsers?

If you mean the toolbox.googleapps.com link, then that's on Google's end.

Looks like we're back online! https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/gt500.org https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/check?domain=gt500.org I told those *people* at Hover that their system was broken!

Well, we're transferred. We'll see if the DNS issues get straightened out now.

Hover did eventually reply to me, but of course they continually denied that there could be a problem with their service, instead blaming it on my DNS settings, Limestone's nameservers, the DNS tools I was using to check if the issue was resolved, etc. In the end, the best I could get them to say was they didn't understand why the problem was happening. They were, of course, unwilling to look into it further since I was transferring my domain. I guess I can't blame them for being reluctant to help a customer who is leaving, however you'd think that if there is a problem with their system that

As annoying as this whole thing has been, I have to admit that gandi.net's e-mail support has been pretty responsive. It looks like the issue transferring the domain was due to the WHOIS taking too long to update, and they sent the administrator confirmation e-mail to my gt500.org address (whoops). If I'd known that and known that their support would reply in a few hours before paying to transfer to Namecheap, I would have stuck with them. It's nice to have a service with responsive support for something as important as a domain name. Oh well...

Actually, if the current service doesn't start working by midnight, I'm thinking of Namecheap. They're supposedly well liked, and in fact readers here rated them higher than GoDaddy.

I'd never use BluHost. I don't remember the reason, I just remember making that decision years ago.

My registrar (Hover) appears to think it is too good to use Limestone's nameservers, so my domain won't resolve to my server's IP address, which means no one can access GT500.org (including my hpHosts mirror and Malware Domain Blocklist mirrors). Since an essential feature at Hover is not working, and they have not responded to my support request, I am trying to transfer the domain to another registrar. That transfer has said "In Progress" for several hours now, so it doesn't look like GT500.org will be back up for a while. You know, as much as I wanted to get away from GoDaddy, at least the

I'm using Nibbleblog. It has relatively good performance for a blog that saves everything in files, but it does lack a few features. It has a plugin system, but isn't nearly popular enough for there to be plugins for most things I would want to add. I've never used wordpress.com, so I don't know what sort of export functions they have. I know the Wordpress blog engine has the ability to export blog posts, but that doesn't mean that wordpress.com's blog hosting service has that feature. I know the former CEO of Opera Software had created a blog/community website to give former My Opera Commun

Most people start at a free blogging service, a lot of people also start at Wordpress. I used the My Opera Community blogging service for a long time, but they shut it down. I tend to dislike Wordpress, and found a few alternatives, but nothing that would let me import my old blog (they exported it into an XML format that only Wordpress supports). My only real complaints about my current blogging solution are that it cannot import that weird XML thing, that all markup is done in HTML instead of some kind of simpler coding system (such as BBCode), and that the comment system is a bit archaic (
