Interesting. The website is Poser and it did not deny you access, despite what it says on the display.

Look closely - do you see that McAfee Site Advisor thingy? Looks like you've got your firewall configured to not allow your own computer to talk to itself. Maybe you should click that. I don't know much about McAfee, other than it doesn't do a good job of fighting viruses, but it does seem to interfere with your work.

In the office of my main client (not SM) I told them two weeks ago that my AVG anti-virus detected a virus on my laptop, and it happened after I logged into their network. I reported it to the office IT guy, who argued with me that McAfee was installed on all servers and it was impossible for there to be an infestation in the office, and that I brought it in. LOL. Like I'm that noobish. I insisted he look into it along with CenterBeam, an out-sourced IT maintenance organization. Well, it turns out that all the company servers are infested, and constantly infecting anybody in the office. Except me, of course.

Well, they've been trying to remove the virus now for 5 days. LOL. The director of engineering, who reports to me, was unable to work for the last two days because McAfee now sees the virus but is unable to remove it. LOL. I told him how to do it manually in 90 seconds. He's all set now. Centerbeam still doesn't know how to fix it with McAfee.

I had long ago removed the corporate copy of McAfee on the laptop they provided me and replaced it with AVG. I totally agree with Laurie - AVG works great, does its job, and doesn't interefere with any apps I run.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
