AVG Warning for Drudge? (vanity)
Drudge Report ^

Posted on 10/15/2009 7:14:35 PM PDT by pillut48

I have the AVG free virus thing, and it keeps blocking Drudge's page with this message:

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Anyone else having trouble accessing Drudge Report? Or is my AVF going wacky on me??

If you get a chance, please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump. If you haven’t donated something yet, please give it some thought...

Thanks!

The ads change with each refreshing of the page, don’t they? [puzzled] It will start to load the page, then it redirects to the message—I’ve tried 4 or 5 times, not sure what is going on. Let me go try again—

Zone Alarm and Norton antivirus.

That kinda scares me...I’m not a big risk taker, and I’ve had viruses kill my hard drive before, so I’m not sure what to do, just wait a bit I guess!

Does AVG have a Configuration function lets you set your security level. Perhaps a Parental setting?

Been there, done that already, but didn’t get a t-shirt, LOL! :-)

Praying that each and every member of FR donates at least 1 dollar—that would be $300K easy! :-)

I think AVG is trying to sell more subscriptions again that is after all why they give you the free version and then extol how much more you get if you upgrade. I got the same thing when checking my Yahoo mailbox. just went to drudge no warning.

Are you using Firefox or Explorer? Download CCleaner and clean out your junk.

CCleaner

I’m not getting this warning from AVG on the safesearch feature.

I am running noscript, which turns off all the javascript, and AdblockPlus, which turns off all the ads, so if there is an infected ad, it wouldn’t turn up.
