Problem solved then Saphire.

The sky is NOT falling, and you are not DOOMED to reformat your hard disk. Just a simple incompatibility between the way that google's anti-phishing works and your firewall.

Because the list of phishing sites is constantly changing the google add-on downloads its list of currently known sites during times of inactivity. Your firewall is seeing the list of sites which IT knows as phishing sites and raises the error/warning.

Choose one or the other.

BTW you can have the google search bar without the anti-phishing enabled

Thanks nirofo and walwyn I am so relieved, I can breath again I have turned the house upside down looking for my XP disks and one other disk I have mislaid.
I haven't had any windows come up since to give me any warnings.:D
Thanks again.

Is this a real benefit.
 
On the subject of reformatting I just had to buy a new computer following a total hard drive crash on my much upgraded PC. I bought Dell because the whole operating system is kept in a hidden partition which you can recall in anything but a complete HD failure. You don't need to use the disks. I do have a full XP system on disk though.

That's just taking up unnecessary space on your hard drive, you'll still have to re-install all your software again if you reboot. Anyway you can set up a partition on your hard drive for storing the Win XP intallation files yourself if you really want to??

It does come with all the bundled software. The computer is returned to the ex factory state. At this point HDD space is not an issue. I am thinking of creating a Ghost image on an external drive. I might then get rid of it.
