Obviously it's BS, but IMO it means that someone reported us falsely in an attempt to drive traffic away. Anything we can do about it?

You're welcome! I belong to a couple of music forums and I've seen those come up now and then as possible harmful sites---when all that was happening was posted links or images in forum threads tracing back to such sites.

Not that I discount the possibility of online mischief directly, but you try to make sure the pool has water before you jump in.

There was a malware issue over the weekend. Sounds like John needs to follow the advice:

It DOES harm your computer.

Over the years, I’ve ruined eight keyboards and three screens because of FR.

I did site:freerepublic.com No warning. when I added thailand, I got warnings. Perhaps these are from a Thailand based spoof site.

I’d guess it is your ISP, or some other security software. Too may variables.

If it was Google, everyone would get it.
