    Every time I click on a manualslib link inside their website to get a manual, a Windows Defender spoof popup occurs that tells me my credentials, passwords, blah blah blah have just been stolen. Beware. If it happens just close your browser.

    The RT55i is a little different, different drivers and crossover. Yours are RT55, the ( i ) versions are the "improved" version. Not that it makes a big difference but it IS something you should be aware of.

    The link Polk sent was to all the ( i ) versions. I was able to read everything with no problems.

  • Yes, I see that, Gardenstater. Thank you for pointing that out. When I checked that web link, I avoided the pop-up and instead clicked on the visible pages to try and read the text. That was difficult for me. Perhaps there's another way to download manuals. I suggest others do NOT try that web link mentioned earlier, and instead, ask Polk Inc for a better link for user manuals and all. Good luck, and thanks for the post.

    I have absolutely no idea why the site doesn't get shut down! Maybe security program companies and Microsoft itself want people's computers to be hijacked. It is good for business? I have reported this to Norton SafeWeb multiple times and they still show the site as safe.

    Interesting that you guys had problems. I used Edge and Firefox browsers, my security is paid Malwarebytes and McAfee I also use a pop up blocker. Both Malwarebytes and McAfee have absolutely saved my behind numerous times and didn't even bat an eye on that site.

    In the past yes I've used it numerous times to download manuals. It has been a long time since I was there.

    Strange.

    The pop up blocker is probably why you didn't have a problem.

    I am using the latest version of Google Chrome and I checked in my settings and the default is currently enabled which is "Don't allow sites to send pop-ups or use re-directs". Maybe I no longer would have a problem with manualslib.com site but I don't plan on trying it.

    I also specifically added https: // www. manualslib.com (no spaces) to the sites that are not allowed to send popups or use redirects just for extra measure.

    Norton Internet Security didn't stop the popups or redirects for me in the past.

    I never had a problem with manualslib.com a couple or more years ago. It has gone rogue at some point and still is getting away with it.
