Just a little while ago when I tryed to check out the site something attacked my computer. My secutity caught it and I was able to quarintine it before it installed itself. I just thought I'd let you know so you can run scans of your systems just to be safe. It was a virus and my security gave it the highest danger rating it has.

I got a notice last night that my Norton caught something also.
Hope it's not going all through our mail boxes like they say it does.

It hit my computer 3 times Saturday night but my computer caught it every time. I ended up running 3 complete sweeps Saturday evening to clean my computer. It only happened when I was here and it hit the instant I arrived to the site.

This happened to Me about 5 or 6 months ago when I visited this site, it wiped out My whole computer, I had to have it redone by a Pro.
No recent problems though, guess My Norton anti everything is working.

I haven't had that happen since the first time, so I guess it's okay now.

Some of the on line advertising contains VIRUSES. Yes..The bad guys are now putting viruses in advertising.. buying space from the major advertising sales groups (who are SUPPOSED to look at stuff first)-- usually it is a link to an executable on a Russian server or something like that... Something that is *supposed* to be a graphic, but really is executable... YUCK!
