As soon as that loaded in my browser Microsoft Security Essentials flagged it as a Trojan virus.

Bugger! I think work blocks something it needs to load... It never loads up. But neither does Dragon Age: Legends on facebook.

I noticed they had Goblins 1 and 2 through the browser too.

Odd. I have the MS Security Essentials, too. It is up to date and thinks it is just fine. What browser? or perhaps your Java runtime is infected?

It works now. I'm running IE8... must have been Java.

So I was having a smashing time playing Prince of Persia, when I re-discovered something I knew already...

Pressing Shift on Windows 5 times consecutively brings up the Sticky Keys window. So here I was fighting the first Level 2 guard, when suddenly this shortcut window pops up, I can't control the game anymore and the guard hacks me to bits. :evil:

I hate Sticky Keys. I always forget to disable it when I setup new Windows install until it screws me over in some game. The default should be off, not on.
