My Malwarebytes is the free version so it is not actively working all the time. I haven't yet gone back to firefox, as I tossed MS edge since I didn't like it and went back to old faithful and full of holes explorer. Several sites like u tube and some others, like yahoo don't like explorer so I may be a bit limited. I haven't decided on my next browser such as Opera which I used to like, or another. I just clicked on my posted link and the page opened right up. All of brandys older stories on http://www.oocities.org/b_dewinter/nicer3.html?20186 http://www.oocities.org/b_dewinter/hotter3.html?20186 and http://www.oocities.org/b_dewinter/?20186 are back after being absent for months at the same url. they have been archived and may come and go as the service deems. Fortunately, I saved all her writings long ago , since so many private sites are falling by the wayside. her site at http://www.tigger-n-brandy.net/brandy-index.html still works and contains all her most recent works. old hands will remember she had a falling out with a co-author and took some heat over it and then refused to post her works or allow them to be posted anywhere else. I can only suggest to get to them now before they totally vanish. Her older works are still visible in a couple of places, but not on sites she controls.
