There’s nothing wrong with the website. Leftist plant crap like that to dissuade people from seeing the truth. I don’t know how the hackers do it; I just know they do.

Norton is my security also and I’m getting sick and tired of this. My old security stated the same thing about Free Republic!

Norton IS a virus. Get Avast instead.

I also consider Norton to be a virus ,, it conflicts with many other programs.. I have had to delete it hundreds of times over the years to resolve problems it has created.

When I worked in the IT field; Norton Anti-Virus caused all kinds of problems. At that time we were recommending McCafee or AVG. These days I personally use Avast. Your computer your call but you might consider uninstalling Norton and installing AVG or Avast.

If you’re comfortable with taking control over what Javascript’s run on your computer you can check into one of the script blocking addons. I like NoScript for Firefox and Scriptsafe for Google Chrome. I don’t use Microsoft browsers so I can recommend any for them. These scripts are frequently how they spoof things like that false warning you got or how they install a virus. As time goes on with security being harder to maintain; it’s become more important for people take control of what websites run in our browsers. They are like little programs that make the browsing experience better or they farm for browsing habits and other things but sometimes they are malicious in some way or another.

I wish more and more people would take control of what scripts run but for most people it’s probably too much of a bother unfortunately.

This advice is worth exactly what you paid for it if you disregard it so Cheers and Regards. :)
