I am running a scan now on my laptop.
This isn't popping up with the warning at any other sites except PB.
My firewalls and antivirus are up to date on both computers.
just wanting to let you all know there may be something trying to infect from the site there. I'm afraid to go back so I don't know how to report this there.
I will check here tomorrow to see if anyone here has had trouble there.

BTW ANY TIME...anytime you get a popup that says you are infected, download this antivirus program or something like that, instead of clicking "yes or no" or "ok or close" or whatever...click the X in the upper right hand corner.
Make sure you have an active, up to date anti-virus program...no excuses...you can get them free. And make sure you have a couple up to date Spyware programs...again no excuses, you can get those free//
Two virus scanners are AVG free and Avast. I have used both. Avast has everything, but I prefer a better kind of firewall so I use Comodo's free firewall and AVG.
Spyware, you can get two good ones free. Spybot S&D and Adaware
Before you do any of this run that Malware program
Here you can get Avast

Spybot S&D

Also Vista comes with a program by Micropuke that is decent. But make sure it is up to date....out of date programs are worthless. New spyware and virus's come out each week and the only way these programs can protect is if they have new signature files weekly....daily
Threaded Mode
