Happens all the time, and .org has always had rubbish security :whistle:

Good God!! What the hell is going on? The thing is I don't know enough about computers to just ignore this. If my pc tells me not to go somewhere then I won't go, it may be nothing, it may be something. What a crock! I know I keep having people tell me to 'just click ignore and take me there anyway' but the answer to that is 'NO'

If you have a good anti virus programme in place and up to date, it should cope with it OK. However, as you say if your browser says no, it takes a brave person to ignore it.

Do not ignore it !!!

It sends a virus in that will either kill your laptop if you have rubbish security, or it will steal personal info you put in when on line either buying stuff, credit cards, banks pass words etc !!

What security are you running ?

Has this happened to anyone yet?

Daz via Andy Watson sending a photo he downloaded off there Clive

To me a site doesn't deserve visitors if they can't sort issues like this out.

If you use your computer for online banking, Paypal transactions or any important data that you wish to remain secure, then you would have to be a brave person to rely solely on anti virus programs to advance past the warnings exhibited below, very brave indeed.
