Lollie Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 When trying to access my emails on Orange tonight a site called Metagate Orange appeared and asked for my log in details, I closed it and did a quick google search. It seems many others are having the same problem and are asking the question, is it a virus? I could not find a definitive answer. Can anyone advise? I have a MAC.Lollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 From what I read online, it seems to be a bug at Orange's end that many users are reporting. No solution as yet.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi, J&D thanks for that, knew you'd have the answer.Lollie, it seems if you move quickly enough opening an email it will work! It seems to be a case of beating the metagate screen - unfortunately I don't move too quickly at this time of the morning!!Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I also have had a look round the internet and having tested it myself, the problem appears to be with only Mac's. All our Windows based machines (of various versions) can get in and read emails without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you are on a network with windows computers then you can "pass on" an infection.Be vigilant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
