WTF: Blog Security Warnings


Okay, surely this can't be just me.  The last 24 hours I've been getting dire Area-51-type pop-up warnings from McAfee SiteAdvisor on some of your blogs, guys.  Yesterday it was when I tried to open the comment box on Sebastian's blog; tonight his is okay, but Frank's blog does the same thing when I try to post a comment, and Gary's whole blog is radioactive, apparently.

Shit.   I loves the Intertubes and all, but things are getting out of hand here.  Let me know if this kind of stuff is happening on my blog.  Not that I have one fucking clue what to do if it is - but I guess it's the kind of thing your friends ought to tell you, like when your fly is open.

I'm not sure who Gary is or the name of his blog so I couldn't check. Nonetheless, I installed McAcfee SiteAdvisor and, I'm not not having any difficulties or issues on Firefox. Now, Internet Explorer on the other hand, this is where it gets tricky. While I'm not getting any alerts, something here is causing the browser to crash. And I can't figure what it is that's causing it. It could be some html on your blog that doesn't like IE, or it could be an IE add on - on my end.

If you could post a screengrab of the warning you're getting, it might help determine who or what the culprit is.

Thanks guys. Gary is Jeepguys Jazz. I have McAfee running all the time, daily updates, and a full scan of my computer every morning. So beats the hell out of me what's going on.

I haven't had any problems, but I don't know what to do about your having problems on my blog.

I'm not getting any kind of McCafee alert on Gary blog's or on Sebastians blog,

Gary said...

Hey Russ!
How are ya?
This is the first I've heard of anyone having problems with my blog. I just tried going to it from my link on your blog, and everything seems ok.
I haven't been posting a lot lately and haven't had any comments for a while, but I just chocked that up to my recent posts probably being kinda boring.

I'm not sure what to do, but let me know if you keep having problems.

Thx

NG - thanks much for checking things out.

Gary - Just posted a comment on your blog, seems like you are decontaminated now.

Frank - Sounds like Kenny Chesney song, grin.
