Hi There, I haven't been visiting here too much because I keep getting warnings when I come here from my internet security! Here's what it says: Warning Dangerous web site you have attempted to open a dangerous web site. Address: (It gives an address but I'm not sure if it's safe to put it here) Credibility: Dangerous Category: Spyware Suggestion: Close your web browser window and do not reopen this web site. Is anyone else getting this? Last year we had a major spam invasion on the computer and I switched my internet security to Trend Micro PC-cillin and it got rid of everything but I'm paranoid about it. I'm definately not the most tech-saavy person. This has only been happening recently, for a few weeks. Any ideas? |

Contact Trend Micro and ask why you are getting this warning, especially since it is from a site you have been visiting for a while now. I don't know why you are getting it, but they should Hope that helps and you feel safe here again.

I just wonder..... You know how we have made joking threads about how the advertisements go along with the threads, and even tried to generate some ads? I wonder if Trend is picking up on that and considers it spyware? I don't know I'm not tech savy either, just a theory. |
