    I agree that it's possible a virus would bog a machine down, but that's not not typical virus/malware. It's usually to steal information in some fashion. Why go through the trouble of infecting someone's machine when you can just port scan/flood ping them. Easier and not criminal.

    It seems like the flag is gone in the latest Chrome releases, so whoops. (used to be chrome://flags/#expensive-background-timer-throttling )

    chrome://discards will show you unloaded / discarded tabs though. Obviously no bueno. Chrome shouldn't be doing that to PC though if it's in the foreground, but can't hurt to check.

    Maybe they meant two PC scripts and not two PCs?

    You guys could always message JohnnnyRS. It doesn't seem like he's adding much these days, but I bet he would fix bugs... especially new ones introduced by mturk changing stuff on their side.

    Correct, I used the terminology they were using as to not confuse, PC in their questions meant Panda Crazy not computer. I'm not talking about logging into multiple devices, but about running simultaneous Panda Crazy scripts on multiple devices. Once very easy to do, now it's not as easy. You can try, and if you can do it great, but you are now drawing from the one pool of PREs not the two we had when it was the two sites.

    #1, no :p

    #2, has absolutely nothing to do with AMT. It's a Chrome issue that he's already attempted to address.

    Shrug. I'm not experiencing that (even in chrome). I know that mturk does make breaking changes for it's users from time to time. It was just a guess/suggestion.
