There are several reasons why our No Cheating Software would block a posting:
- Your browser did not send any referer at all. This normally happens if you
copy and paste a link into a new browser window and press Enter, or if you just change
the results in the browser window. It may also be that your browser is set up to not send any
referer. Unfortunately we must test for an empty referer or we would allow anyone to post
results that would not be offical or fair.
- Some software firewalls, for instance the Norton Personal Firewall (which is also part of
Norton Internet Security) or ZoneAlarm remove the referer from HTTP requests, which will block
any postings on any site that does a referer check. Hence such options should always be turned
off. In Norton you have to go to the Privacy Settings and disable browser privacy (which doesn't
really protect your privacy anyway as your IP address will always be logged regardless of that
setting). In ZoneAlarm you have to go to Privacy -> Cookie Control -> Custom and uncheck
"remove private header information".
-
You clicked on a link on a site that is not part of the posting domain. In
this case the URL in your browser would not contain the correct information.
We do not allow that kind of external linking. This helps prevents cheating.
- Software such as AdSubstract also blocks the referer and make posting impossible.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you understand our reasons for doing so.
We want to keep the PCExpress System/CPU Speed Test as fair, accurate and honest as possible to all that use it.
