You have two serious problems...
1 - You're using Internet Explorer (don't)
2 - You should disable your anti-virus web thingy, if he's gonna give false positives, better off anyways.
PS: I use Ubuntu Linux, so I don't use any of the above.

I use chrome normally but i was able to duplicate the issue in firefox and IE.

Please stop using ie

Ok, yes, IE is bad but he says it happens on other browsers so just drop it.
What is the "malicious URL" that was blocked? There is a good chance that its not actually malicious its just something that someone in an office doesn't want people using or viewing.

Does the cached version show the same?

Well... The anti-virus thinks CM site is "malicious"...
If you think about it ... It is! It could erase your entire phone data, overwrite your phone's ROM with another one.
The information/files on that site are "malicious", thus the anti-virus is correct, and you should stay away from that "malicious site".
This is why I don't use anti-virus.
Sorry for using humor on my previous posts (and this one).

Ok .. let's rephrase that: Stop using windows ....
And on-topic: it is definitely an issue with the antivirus. I never had this issue while in windows (with a proper antivirus set up, of course). In Ubuntu (my favorite) these issues do not exist.

Stop using avast... ess - now v5, is best

Does he even have Avast installed? This could be some infection which got on his system (probably from using ie everywhere) and now wants money to protect him from an imaginary virus.

No. Windows RT is not open source, requires secureboot, and is being highly protected by microsoft in terms of who gets to develop hardware. Also even if some miracle hapenned and it worked you stilled wouldn't be able to run normal x86/x64 apps

Wifi tether? (solved)

I'm having trouble using Wifi tether. When ever I try to connect I get an error that says "WTF!! Your phone is automatically shutting off the connection" lol it was pretty funny first time I saw it. The wifi tether signal still shows up on the devices I connect to but they don't register it. Is there any work around or fix? I used the roms codename and beam for this btw.

which rom your using? lots of ics rom has wifi tether issues.
cm9 and aokp is okay,

I don't answer not becuz I dislike you.....but more becuz I don't tether,so I'm of no use for an answer on this subject.
As far as having alot of enemies...lol I think I've got ya beat there....

I used WiFi tether on CM9 with no problem at all. My usual Internet connection was down, and I used tethering as a backup. It took a bit more time to connect to the phone than to the router, but it connected in under a minute and worked just fine.

Lol I was taught that there are 3 types of people in this world....
1-that are suck ups.
2-those who like being sucked up to.
3-those like me that can't stand either one.
Im not supposed to wifi tether my device according to my new no cap contract so if that's important to you make sure you are aware of that when it comes time to renew or upgrade

I wouldn't say you guys are hated and or have alot of enemies.
Your merely misunderstood,and it doesn't help when there are the few with forked tongues that twist and manipulate what you say.
I see you two have some valid issues most of the time,but its hard to make your points when you are dealing with a mass amount of people that aren't educated enough to see them.

Going back to gb solved the prob for me oh how i missed this battery life. (btw bh the best guide to go back to gb from ics is fbs old kd1 guide using odin. Super easy and takes just a few mins. It has been the difinitive unbrick guide for me too. In my opinion one click has a high learning curve! You should point people to the link on your one click post as an alternative)

yea but before that you need to set up command prompts and downloading a jig file program with it and some other stuff. with odin there's no need to use command prompts, you just download the tar pit and csc files and flash away. Practically unbrickable even if you take the usb during an odin transfer. I'm not saying one click doesn't work but I think it throws people off

You are confusing installing heimdall fully instead of using a one click. Only thing you need for a one click is java and to install the drivers. Nothing hard at all.

lol I think you're right..let me rephrase then. I view Odin just another option to root, flash, and unbrick your device. Why not include it as an option, I don't think it's obsolete just yet.

i see we r making headway here.
How much stuff do ya really need on your comp other than a simple one click odin program that will do what's needed without having to go look up another and so on just to get rooted stock....I've had issues with installing Java...my comp doesn't seem to like it or I don't seem to know what I'm doing with it....either way gremlin remover is one simple easy dl and 1 simple click that takes less than about 3 minutes to do whats needed

Can't get full webpages on XDA website on my PC..help!

Ok, so I use the xda app on my Nook Tablet, but when going to the website via google browser on my windows xp computer, the webpages are not downloading completely....I get the top Navigation Bar and whatever pop up ad is running but no info below! What's up with this? I need to get in via my PC to download some ROMs and apps.
Is this because I'm running xp instead of windows 7?
I can get the full pages on my browser on the Nook Tablet (rooted) but can't afford enough dropbox storage to get all the ROMs and other files I need uploaded and downloaded to my PC. Anyway, this just seems odd.
This is probably something technically stupid, but, please help if you can!
Thanks..

It may seem simple, but have you tried using a different browser on your PC?
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!

Can't get full xda website using XP/Explorer 8 huh?
Oh yes, been there done that! Oddly, on my mom's computer running windows 7 I had no problems.....but it seems hard to believe having xp would limit me that way. I used to be able to get in and see just fine until the last month or so. Checked Norton for any blocks/limitations but none I could see!
Totally perplexed. I am running out of hard drive space but can't see why that would make this happen, unless RAM somehow dips in when needed? But no problems on any other sites!
I am using Explore 8 as primary browser as 9 won't load on xp.....perhaps this is it?
Thanks for your reply. Any other ideas? Any devs or admins out there who can answer?

Rooting destroyed my two Macbooks

So I rooted and flashed Roms on a macbook by connecting my N5 via USB. Now my first macbooks data is corrupted. I thought this might be the fact the macbook is 4 years old. So then I try my Dads macbook pro because my phone isn't performing as well and keeps freezing and going into a bootloop. So I connected it to the pro and then about 45 min later, the macbook pro doesn't even turn on. Does anyone know anything about this? Do I have a virus on my phone possibly?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Its not a virus. Viruses cannot cause devices to not turn on.

What do you think caused both macbooks to have their data corrupted? I plugged in my nexus and both got fried. Now my dad is pissed and I need to explain to him it wasn't because I tried rooting and unrooting on the macbook

Yeah there's no way that running a couple of terminal commands from a Mac to a phone can do any of this.

In order for anyone to help, you must be more specific in the steps you took prior to developing the problem.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

Not sure if trolling or serious.
Unless you ran destructive commands using root, there's no way this happened.
What commands did you run? What tools did you use? Did you use a toolkit from the forums or did you download one from a random website?
Other than that you sound like a sheep, should have stuck to iPhones kid.

Sorry I was just being vague figuring someone else might have had the same problem. But first off I rooted and flash Franco first on my macbook. And everything seemed to work fine. Then after trying to flash PSX ROM, my phone started to run into problems. Like the first one was that something like the UID? had a problem with the system. So then I tried undoing the ROM and putting on cataclysm. This is when my Mac started to really get slow. My Mac just started crashing and so then I tried to flash the stock image because coincidentally my phone was rebooting like crazy and also crashing when trying to open certain apps or trying to do things to fast. While doing this my mac crashed when I was in the final stage of flashing my stock. So some kind guy on here helped me put everything back to stock. He also helped me root and flash Franco and cataclysm ROM. (Now started from when flashing the stock image on the phone successfully, I was using my dads macbook pro since my macbook didn't even boot up and was stuck on the apple logo) so after flashing everything my phone kept on getting into bootloops. So I tried putting everything back to normal, but then my macbook got unbelievably slow. So tried restarting it and then that macbook got stuck on the apple logo. I don't know what the hell is going on. Even as I'm typing this, my nexus 5 typing is laggi g like crazy!?!

Give us more info about exactly what you did, what commands you ran etc.
sent from my hammerhead

That's not what we meant by steps you took.
We want to know if you used command lines and what commands you typed in.
Or if you used a toolkit program on your macs.
Otherwise no one can help or will have the patience.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

OK really OP, it sounds like you didn't know what you were doing. First, wipe your Nexus 5 clean so you fix the lag and go back to stock. Then, figure out what you spilled on your macbook's to break them because obviously, it wasn't the terminal commands. If you really can't figure this out, head the Apple Genius bar, because we're not there with you to diagnose the problem. It wasn't the ROM or rooting, its something else. Sorry.

I was the one that got him set up using ADB/Fastboot on his Mac. I have to say, I'm pretty miffed at this. I've got an 08' MBP that I've been using to mod my phones and I've never ran into any sort of issue with the MBP itself. This is odd...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

No, he's not trolling. I stepped him through step by step how to get ADB/Fastboot working on a Mac and restoring back to a factory image in Hangouts the other night. I just don't understand how he could have toasted 2 computers modding a phone...

Sounds like one of those 'I couldn't find the kit, file, etc so I looked elsewhere (not on xda) online and found it but couldn't download it until I clicked on the ad first but that file didn't work it only broke my laptop so I decided to do it again since it didn't work the first time'

Hey guys, first off I am not trolling. Secondly I did not spill anything on the macbook. But i just went out and bought a new macbook. Also I unflashed my Nexus so it is back to stock except for the fact that the bootloader is unlocked still. So now a new problem has arisen. my phone is still rebooting and draining a ton of battery because of it. I think i might just have a defective device. I'm going to contact google about this because no one seems to be having this problem. And I'm on stock now so I'm at a loss now

I'm not sure what's going on. I literally stepped him through setting up ADB and Fastboot on a Mac, even had him send me screencaps and we had it working fine, so I have no idea what's going on. Cut the dude some slack.

To fix your macs is easy bro just hold the option key down when booting. Select recovery on the gray screen, that should fix your macs. For the phone: always do a cache and dalvik erase.

Why not? You can build Android natively on a Mac as its Unix based. Second best option besides a Linux Distro, and a hell of a lot better than Windows. No driver issues, etc...

OS X is based on FreeBSD and shares unix ancestry with the Linux-based Android OS. In reality its much "funnier" to be modding on Windows.
