Thanks ratvn.
It should all be straightened out.

Fiddlerman,

Since I started this mess I should also report that I no longer have threat warnings as well.

Thanks for the fix!

YES!  All clear here as well!  

Don't worry, BobH!  I thought it was just me and sent an email the other day!

I seriously thought it was my antivirus being too sensitive.  I never liked Norton and actually prefer AVG.  Unfortunately, when we bought our new PC, my wife installed it because it was free for a year.  

You live and learn, I guess!  ......and having a stash of your favorite fiddlin' juice doesn't hurt, either! ;-)

Whew. I haven't been able to check this site while at [unnamed place that starts with W and ends with ork] ... I was afraid our security filters had decided I was wasting too much time!surprised

One of our computers at home bit the dust, and I have been too slow to the draw on the others, so I have been using my Android player lately, which only lets me use emoticons [no keyboard to type anything].

 

Fortunately for you guys, I claimed a computer today!

All clear for me now, too!

Though, speaking of that place that starts with W and ends with ork, I may be in a little bit of trouble for trying to access the site the other day while eating my lunch at my desk. It appears that the malware triggered a security alert with our IT staff and now they're gonna have to scan my hard drive on Monday.

Oops.

IN house networks with Microsoft Security Essentials is tagging sites with chat rooms, forums that post, etc. I am thinking it is a recent update. I was tagged and said > CRAP> this site is harmless and at least its worthy . I think that those tags are geared at other sites with similar forum type formats but are worthless trash. Its more a warning that > this PC is hitting an IP that may be dangerous to social virtual scenarios. SOooo one must find other avenues to keep up with ones studies. I didn't get it on the home page but did get it on the forum page. I now use my Iphone and an outside of the network hook. Yeah >> I know >>> shouldn't be trying to learn while at W##K but its hard to stay away when trying to learn all one can learn about this wonderful instrument.

Malware was found though and removed from this site so the warnings lead to a good thing in the end. I never suspected it. I know scan the site every 6 hours. smile
Thanks everyone for pointing it out. It's the best way to keep this forum clean. Unfortunately, forums are an opening for malicious files because many catalogs require permissions set at 777. :-(
I will continue to work on securing the site as well as possible.
