I would advise all to avoid clicking links from anyone you do not trust as there may be an issue...and another point to the downfall of .org... FML

I received the same reply from Mcafee on my browser. I turned my computer off right away and restarted. The message has not returned.

Ditto....but all I had to do was exit the browser, and re-started. I'm not liking it.

It also said this site has been reported as a site capturing personal and or financial information that can be shared.

I have received it as well. With bad results. Took hours to clean things up on my computer.
McAfee was upset about it also.

Hell, I thought it was from visiting the **** sites. You all went there too, huh?

Wonder if it is a speicial internet IED from somebody that maybe got kicked off?

Tough to pin these IE bugs on anyone.

Just because Windows and internet explorer are the majority,
Criminals and hacks spend days writing malicious software.

The local Tribune website was a victim just a couple of days ago. Many folks were hit with internet social disease.

I too had a virus notification, it was deleted rather than quarantined as the anti virus software pop up said it could not guarantee the safety of the system if it did not delete it. A full virus scan was suggested.
The virus notification came immediately after looking at the traveling bears thread.
What have those bears picked up in their travels?
Have they had their shots?

I have not been to the traveling bears thread so it must be somewhere else. It probably is tied to one of the links. The last link I remeber checking out was the one about the new exhaust and the video did load slower than normal. I also checked out a couple of outher you tube video's at the same time so it may be unrelated.
