I went to do a 'google' search and for every site it lists it says "This site may harm your computer". If I click on the site I get another page warning me that the site may harm my computer and it doesn't let me access the site.
I KNOW the sites are ok because I tested it and it happened with Amazon and Synth-Zone ?!?!?!?
I tried with Mozilla and Internet Explorer with the same results.
Anybody know what's going on????
thnx,
t.

You may want to update your virus scanner software just to be on the safe side. There has been a nasty worm floating around for about two months now that tells you that your anti-virus software must be immediately updated and to click here. When you click the balloon you are really downloading the virus into your computer. The virus/worm goes into your PC and eats the files one by one in My Documents. The upgrade from AVG to nail the sucker was fairly large, about 12-megabytes. I'm not sure the other anti-virus programs have provided an update at this time. I use the new Google Chrome browser and I do not get the message you described.

Good Luck,

Gary

Thanks guys ...
I ran a virus scan - there were no problems ... I went back to 'Google" and everything is fine ... (???)

Donny ... the problem was that it wouldn't LET me just click through ... to try to get to the desired site I had to do a 'copy and paste' on the URL ...

Gary ... I've heard about that worm ... in fact, I believe I had posted a warning on S-Z about it ... I certainly try to keep my virus software up to date ...

The problem is with Google - not your 'puter.
