I've been having intermittent connection problems to TMS for a while now too. Connection just times out spontaneously. I've tried on different internet connections too, same problem...

Many thanks to the web host for contacting to ask what's up wow I'm impressed if anything with good intel they can isolate something if need be . I'm sure we all want to help to make TMS as best as can be.

Agreed, ditch McAfee!! **** is like the bubonic plague, nearly as bad as NORTON! Run quality freeware programs, use some sense using your computer and you shouldn't have any problem. I run AVG 9.0 FREE, Spybot, and CCleaner regularly and it seems to do the job for me.
Anyways, I haven't been able to get on for a week at least. I thought the TMS got hacked again! What happened guys?

I don't really like to pile on, but this is one of the reasons why I don't run McAfee at any of my locations nor do I recommend it to anyone:
More information here. If you can get it to come up.
Looks like if you have McAfee and Windows XP or Vista or Server 2003, you are screwed.
McAfee put out an update last night that "sees" a part of one of the critical system 32 windows files as a virus and erases it. Windows shuts down immediately not to come back.

I thought about this thread when I read about it earlier today.
