"Suspicious Website"

I've noticed when I go to the main page of the site, it pops up as a "suspicious site" on the phishing filter. Is that an issue with the site, or something on my end? I've never had that happen before.

Re: "Suspicious Website"

I was getting that message at first as well, looked like a Windows warning of somekind. But I haven't noticed it of late.

It was kinda a "If you don't trust this website don't proceed" type phishing message warning about possibly having financial info stolen.

Since I've been around these boards for a bit and trust them I figured it was nothing to worry about. But it might effect new users not familiar with us I suppose.

Internet Explorer. I'm also running AVG, but the warning seems to be coming from the browser. It is only on the main page, and not the forums though.
