Have sent the log to your pm, and from what I can see, it looks like Verisign (198.49.161.206) is doing the most damage here! -

Dan is your man

Let me know of your findings.

Did you consider the possibility of EM interference with your phone line? Perhaps having a utility near by that causes this. Worth checking out.

Not electrical/magnetic inereference I am sure. (I am on a 512K DSL link). The rest of Internet is quite happy to go about their business normally - its just MURC - on the exact same hardware, that is acting-up.

When you get a gap to look at the log-file I sent, here are some more evidence that both Paypal and Verisign are somehow involved.

Attached image is of screen-captures of moans that during the last few days occurs regularly.

Going to try and simply block paypal by adding that to the list of things to be done by Adshield

What you are seeing there is Paypal's cerificate of authenticity, the only involvement Verisign have is that they issue such certificates. I can only presume that you have somewhere security settings set extremely high and your browsing is quizzing Paypal each time it loads the page for its certificate of authenticity.

[Sasq]

I was just thinking the same thing.. yup check your security settings and if there set to fairly high, try nocking them down a notch

As a theory I have to agree with that - but in practice, I cannot make sense of it..................

Running with browser security currently set at "Medium" and as I have mentioned before, the problem does not occur EVERY TIME I arrive here - most of the time I arrive and all is well. ?!

I will give it a go anyway, but changing the security settings will not allow me to immediately check on any change in MURC bahaviour as the problem is intermittent.

If the combination of wonky security settings and Paypall is to blame, I cannot figure why only MURC shows this behaviour - I visit various other pages/sites also spouting Paypal and no such hassles there.

[Ant]

Also why no else sees the problem. I've checked with different browsers and even installed the Adshield software you use but the page always loads up very fast.

Ant/Dan

Certainly looks like its a problem on my side since nobody else is moaning about it.

Have lowered security settings to "low" (cant go lower) and still have the same crap intermittently.

Killed Paypal refs/links allover with Adshield, and problem seem to be solved.

Lets not waste anymore time on this - I can live without Paypal and what its doing, so I will just run like that.

Thanks for the suggestions and interest.

The PayPal buttun is actualy cousing ome problems over here every now and then! The problem would propably be solved if you would host the button on murc and not on https://www.paypal.com/images/x-click-but04.gif

[Sasq]

I'll look into moving the button here, just have to read up on the licence
