 |
|
Sometimes when I click on Dave's, I get a Google malware warning about esoccer.hobby.ru?
Has anyone else got this, or is it just something nasty and viral based in my PC? |

| I'm getting it too, especially on the "Lookism in TEFL" thread. |

| Thanks for that. Yes, that's where I have most recently seen it too. But it is on other threads also. A Russian domain name. Curiouser and curiouser... |

| I hope we're not being contaminated by looking at "Lookism"! I've not seen this warning popping up. Just how good is AVG Internet security? |

Dear spiral78,
Likewise - are the people getting warnings all in Russia, I wonder.
Regards,
John |

I don't get a warning if I click on the thread title or page 1, but I'm still getting it if I click on page 2. At least you know it's not your computer, Sasha.
ETA: I'm in the northeastern US. |

Well, guys, we are a fairly significant cadre of regulars - perhaps if our computers all crashed, we'd be missed 
Alternatively, I suppose it's possible that celebrations would be held: none of us pleases all of the people all of the time!  |

Dear AGoodStory.
" . . . I'm still getting it if I click on page 2. "
Not I - but then, I'm using an iMac (smug look.)

Dear John,
I wish I could say the same. (Envious look.)

I just switched browsers to check the "Lookism" thread in Explorer--no warning using Explorer. When I switched back to Google Chrome, the warning came up again. Sasha, what browser are you using? |
