At that point I clicked on my favorites link to this site and got this warning. I am now on another PC with Sophos security and it had no warning. Is anyone else experiencing problems?

GENERALZOD Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've never ran across that with this site, although I don't use CA now I used to years ago.. I've used site/link checkers before and most of the time it's not the site itself that it's seeing as a threat, it's the flash ads contained in certain pages, at least that's been my experience using site and link checkers.

FalconinPA Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 There has been a big increase in the number of trolls visiting lately. I wonder if that is what is being detected as being unsafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFalcon Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I had that problem earlier this week, but just saved a different url for my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padawan Knight Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I had that problem earlier this week, but just saved a different url for my favorites.That was my thought. They changed the URL for the boards and it's redirecting now. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Check the link you have saved in your favorites.

Karst41 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The direct link to the forums was corrupt earlier this week, and that probably prompted the alert.Now that the link has been fixed, do you still get the warning?Two things that I am really glad to have every day.MAC OS10.5xxNetgear Prosafe Altough I could inline the Mono Wall, I just keep it on standby, and at which point I go to the Ruskiesand they will seal shut every Port, color by color,,,,,,kinda extreme measures huh .

phattywankenobi Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Glad it sounds like the issue was corrected. I'm stepping out of the geek speak conversation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is recommended that you do not proceed to the website.URL : http://boards.atlantafalcons.com/forum/45-talk-about-the-falcons/Category : Malware Distribution PointThis happened to me about a month ago. And now that I think about it, My computer went crazy a few days later, and locked up on the start screen and looked really weird. It tooks weeks to get it to come on long enough to run anti virus software, it was loaded with spyware. Now its working fine. I have no idea if the computer problems were related to the warning message I got, I sure hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppy™ Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Kaspersky is the answer my friendsYeah... I'm running Kapersky 11.0.1.400.....

It's true.... Once you get into MAC (especially if you are a media monkey like me), PCs just don't cut it... But I'm diggin' this ASUS laptop... It's not a MAC, but it definitely delivers graphics/audio-wise....Luckily, it seems like with each new version of Windows they are trying to be more and more OS X-like.... I'll take OS X over Windows 7 any day.... But I'm not much of a computer junkie... Edited September 1, 2011 by Hoppy™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLBrave Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I noticed the link to the forums stopped working this week. From the URL that I used previously, it was life.atlantafalcons.com, now it's boards.atlantafalcons.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not much of a computer junkie...One of my favotite features on the mac is the Apple/Command for keyboard shortcuts.I do struggle with the Preferance panes.Unlike OS9x you could go into the OS and simply delete unused or unwanted pref files or extensions.On the PC if you delete a dll,,you are begging for some trouble.Point being is that a Lean OS equates to a Happy Os.We used to do that to gain system speed, but nowadays you get an I5 or I7 system and load it with 32gb of ram, you have a whats called a fastass sumbeechi.
