| AVG told me of a Trjosn Horse attempt the other day. It was blocked and proceeded. It was the only thing I've seen. Eh. It's a good site. |

| I'm guessing it's the ads. Pretty common, nowadays. You give those ****ers the ability to put any ad they want on your site, and they can't screen the content of the ads very well.
Can't blame Freak, he's gotta pay the bills. Blame the advertisement management company. |

| Are you guys running Chrome or something similar with an ad blocker add-on? If not, I would recommend it. Whenever I load the site in Chrome with the ad blocker, I don't have any problems. |

| Yeah i had a phony xp 2012 antivirus program come on my screen the other day. Tried to get me to buy it. Bascially locked up my computer. Just restart and quickly go to system restore before it catches on and restore to a early date. Then make sure you update your antivirus protection before you browse anymore. |
