    Someone on my newsfeed was just mentioning about this. I haven't had an issue at this point.

    Happened to me today. Maybe this topic should be moved to the Technical Support Thread.

    Yes, it's happened to me on two seperate comps, 8 hours apart. I agree--maybe this should be moved to tech help.

    Nah, there are already a couple of these threads in Tech Support.

    It is most likely due to the lack of encryption and identity verification on the site.

    There was mention of this in the Technical forum yesterday. Staff said they were fairly certain it was not coming from this site, but were requesting feedback from anyone having a problem. Some folks thought it may be one of the ads.

    Your first problem is that you are using Norton.

    This happened to my yesterday and I wondered what happened, but I was really glad that my virus protection software picked it up and described it as a malware attack. Thanks for making us all aware, friends.

    Me too. I do not have Norton, but I got a warning about an attack too when I got on first thing this morning. I logged on and then went to enter into my food diary and then wammo virus warning. However, the virus warning was not from my AV software - so I ended task on IE, I haven't had any problems since.

    ETA: It may be from some of the advertisements.

    The site has an virus. If it prompts you to download something open Task Manager and use that to close ALL web browsers open.

    I work with PC's fighting viruses for a living.

    I've been getting this too, for the last couple days. We ran virus scan yesterday and it happened again today. I hope it gets fixed soon!
