Hello everyone, I tried to go to the profit lance website to log in but it's saying that it's an attack site. It has never done this before. The anti-virus program I use is Avast. I did change the internet security settings and after I did that I was able to log in. I just had to ignore the warning that popped up though. I was a little sketched out by this but i got into the members area. I was just wondering if anybody else had this problem. I did email Mike about it but he hasn't responded. I don't know what the deal is.

I just checked the website and it looks alright to me, so I think it is just your computer - maybe you could change the settings on your anti-virus program or add PL to your list of "trusted sites" or something to that effect.

Greetings to everyone:
I am having the same problem with the Profit Lance login page and so is someone else that I just finished posting a reply to.
I am new to this site and also to the Profit Lance course...Up until about a week ago, I was not having the issue of being able to login. Now, I can not login at all. I have tried allowing all cookies, adding profitlance.com to the trusted sites, and still I am not able to log in. When I use Mozilla FireFox it suggest that there is some sort of virus or something...and this is happening from various computers, because I go to the library and such to study my course material.
I have also tried tirelessly, to get in contact with someone/anyone from Mike or his support staff to resolve this small technical issue, but I have not received a response or have I been able to find good contact information.
Can anyone help me and others with this issue or help us to get good contact information so that Mike can be aware that there is something potentially going wrong with his website????
Thanks,

Mike at profit lance has posted that he is having problems. Look under the blog tab after you have signed in. This is what you will read:
"

Yea this is odd, Ive been a member for quite some time now and this is the first time it happened. I can log in though. But every time I click one of the tabs within the course my avast warning comes up. I just ignore it though but it's still frustrating. I guess we can just keep emailing Mike or his support team about the problem. Oh well.

I had the same issue prior to canceling my membership a couple of days ago. They seem to have fixed the problem on the Profit Lance site in the last day or so, but there is a still an issue with one of their related sites (Netsalaries.com).
The lack of support from these guys is brutal, and that's why I requested a refund. I'm not even sure that Mike Andrews is involved in this venture any longer.
Has anybody had any luck with those "cookie cutter" sites they give you? The weight loss one is still pooched and does not display the product/program that's supposed to be reviewed.

I am not with PL but I can assure you that no matter what you are with or do online, there will be times like this where stuff happens that makes you want to rip your hair out.
The tough hang in there and ride it out...Good luck!

If you see warnings about your computer infected with viruses and it
offers you a free scan, don't do it. Don't even close that warning
page. Just shut down your computer and scan for viruses with one of
the mainstream virus scanner.
A browser window can be made to look like a normal window but the
buttons (OK, CANCEL) and the MINIMIZE, MAXIMIZE, CLOSE (X), can
be moved, switched around, and made to look like something else.
So clicking that CANCEL button may actually allow them in the computer.

I have come across some of those "virus scanners" before. But this is not the problem. My Avast Anti-Virus Program is detecting profitlance.com as an attack site for some reason. I think someone or some program is messing with the profitlance.com website.

I think we should just keep emailing Mike or his support team and maybe provide a link to this thread just to show that I'm not the only one having this problem. I'm not sure what else to do.

does anyone else have suggestions for those of us that are still not able to login into PL????? Please, any and all information is helpful, because not being able to login is wasting time and projects and stuff that I started but have not been able to complete within the study material; which makes this issue all so frustrating....

Hello Michelle, I'm sorry you are having this problem as well. What I did was just mess around with my security settings in my browser. I think all I did was set the security settings lower.
Good Luck
