    Not at all Carl. Think of it like a drug test. We are clean now, but it hasn't been long enough to pass the test. Since enough time has not passed yet, the warning may still appear, but the original cause of the warnings appears to have been resolved. You should be able to click "ignore" on the warning to view those sections.

    I think we've been 'spammed!". New member "lilyjucy" has multiple posts and all are nonsense. Suggest not opening?! I did opened one but staying away until someone checks it out.

    I'm getting the "something's not right here" warning from Google Chrome again today, and it happens as soon as I try to login tot he main site. I just click proceed, but I am sad to see the warning back up.

    To All,

    I am on a public computer at Kinkos.

    This week I got 2 warnings about Malware. This morning I got a warning about a Trojan being blocked. Trojans are bad news, I know because I just spent 200 bucks last month replacing my hard drive from a destructive Trojan. I regret saying this but there are some serious problems going on. I think I got this Trojan here.

    On Tuesday I got a message saying Malware was blocked from "WW2f.com client log on". Problem is I was not on the WW2f site !! I'm going to my computer geek friend to see if I'm infected.

    I have concerns about this site and feel bad for the administrators and Otto. This site is amazing and I am on here about everyday but only post when relevent to my interest. I do this out of respect to the true research being done here.

    I'm getting gun shy about visiting here and my last comment is to the hackers and idiots that pull this crap out of malice, hate, or whatever....

    GET A JOB OR GET A LIFE YOU PUNKS.....

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hmm, i´m using Firefox and the Norton 360 Version 5.0 and there is no problem with the site. No warnings from Norton and no blocking from Firefox. Only problem i had was that i can´t enter at Tuesday evening.

    I also have had no problems. Running Firefox 3.6.13 and Norton Security Suite 4.3.05. No warnings or issues from either one.

    Just checked Chrome as well with no problems. It just seems odd that only some see the warnings.

    Hmm. Just tried to log off in Chrome, then I got the warning.

    I'm still getting the warning, and also google search adds "this site may harm your computer" to any search results pointing here.

    I received one on my virus scanner. It was a trojan that was hanging off of something being downoaded off of this site during initial access.

    Warning message = Trojan-downloader.script.generic [with an IP that does not match our website.]

    I will provide the IP to the mods if requested.

    Oddly, IE8 doesn't give me any problems, although Firefox won't let me in at all.

    I'm having Norton run a full scan right now, although it hasn't given me any warnings.
