JDoors Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Interestingly enough, my security software tagged your post as potentially dangerous (a big yellow caution bar appears at the top of the IE page). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 You could report this to PIRT:http://www.castlecops.com/pirt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappy Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Interestingly enough, my security software tagged your post as potentially dangerous (a big yellow caution bar appears at the top of the IE page).Your IE Security Fraud Monitor has recognized the link then, so it's a known fraud already.Good to know that it works!! I guess that's a pretty good feature in IE now and could possibly "Save" allot of those Dupes, if they use IE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's my Earthlink software that tags the link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
