I had been running my laptop on "safe" mode due to a sneaky virus named "System Care Antivirus". If YOU have this shortcutted on your desktop, check the wiki and carry out instructions on its eradication.

I had to relog on in Deviant Arts and the grotty InkBunny, but here my efforts were spat on. I kept trying, but FurAff kept giving me crap like asking for "verification code" which is hopeless to remember or even correctly write down,and after my every attempt at the password was rejected, I gave up. I resolved to just -delete FurAff if this nonsense persisted in regular mode. It, to my relief, did not occur there. So - I am back again.

I used "System Restore" twice to get things working properly,at least for the mo, and wish me luck !
