BarackObama.com under virus attack. (Locked out of GD)
I just went to the site and my anti-virus software stopped a trojan horse virus attack 4 times.

I tried calling, but was unable to leave message or contact live person.

This is the virus -HTML:RogueIframe -

Be careful when logging on, if you have to. And only do so with full updates.

As far as I know, AVAST and AVG are the only A-V programs that will stand up to the attacks. I don't

trust the rest.

Anybody with the connections should help get the word out before half the campaign is blinded.


On Re-post: I would like to know why this post was locked out of GD? This is a non-partisan,

informational post. And i find it a bit over the top that it was locked out without explanation other

than "wrong forum". What would be the right forum, "the lounge"?

4. The smart political animal....
would be a regular visitor to there opponent's sites if only to gain insight. I visit a few Hillary sites myself. And if i found this problem there, I would do the same.

So again I ask, why was it blocked?

3. Probaby because it mentioned one candidate..
I agree that it shouldn't have been locked. You posted useful information. I support Hillary, but this is something people should know. Personally, I think it should be posted here and on GD. Also you might put it in Politics and Elections.
