Phishing Warnings on DU website

[Phred42]

Can someone explain to me WHY I receive 4 of these WARNING Messages when I enter the DU website?

What the hell is going on here?

[lolly]

1. It's probably a phishing scan itself

The "how to stop these warnings" link probably opens a virus or worm of some sort.

2. Our virus scan software here at my workplace gave multiple warnings too. nt

3. Doesn't the big red box explain it enough?

[Phred42]

13. So you're suggesting that Skinner is Phishing my machine?

interesting.

15. some people shouldn't have computers

:eyes:

4. I will tell you why, but...

you have to give me your social security number first....

[Joanie Baloney]

5. I know!

It's because you didn't donate this quarter. Grovel-Bot has its way of getting even.

Bwwaaahahahahahaa!!

:evilgrin:

6. I just got logged out.

And for a while, GD had ads at the waist. :scared:

7. Grovelbot skimming again?

You can't trust that bastard as far as you can throw him.

8. Do you use Trend Micro PC - cillin and is the name exactly the same?

If yes, ask Admin.

9. You have to learn to block cookies and websites in your browser

Trend is one of the best anti-everything solutions out there. And if they say the site is 'phishing', get a net.

10. Spyware trying to redirect you maybe?

11. I Get Exactly The Same Warnings With Trend Micro.....

this just started today. I posted - but apparently after you did. Here's my post link:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3827933&mesg_id=3827933

It is really annoying and personally I'm concerned because Trend Micro is usually spot on in these sorts of things.

12. Yep - this just started today BUT I'm now getting this crap

at RAW, Think progress, and others

and I can't even get to Common Dreams now.

What the hell is going on

The Reich preparing for the Convention next week? or Skinner just trying to make the nut this week

[DS1]

16. or maybe your anti-virus software is shit

just a possibility. most are.

[TrogL]

14. Trend just published a new pattern file with a lot of changes

Maybe they got over-enthusiastic checking for phishing.

We haven't got it here yet.

17. It isn't DU it's alerting on according to the address in the red box.

Looks like it doesn't like Google ads?
