A gracious hello. Here at Free Republic, we handle eighty-four billion URL requests a year. Serving everyone from presidents and kings to the scum of the earth. So, we realize that, every so often, you can't get access to the web site, or for no apparent reason you receive a maleware alert from Google, or perhaps you get charged for using a website you didn't even use. We don't care!
Watch this... [ she hits buttons maniacally ] We just lost Peoria.
You see, this website consists of a multi-billion dollar matrix of space age technology that is so sophisticated -- [she hits buttons with her elbows] even we can't handle it. But that's your problem, isn't it? So, the next time you complain about your internet service, why don't you try using two Dixie cups with a string? We don't care. We don't have to.
We're Free Republic.

I’m doing a Kaspersky Internet Security scan right now, just to make sure my puter is clean. It says 49 min. to go.

If the search feature here worked worth a crap... But a search for all of those terms brought up no search results for me when I looked.

Running avast!—which I learned about on FR seven years ago—and no warnings.

avast! gave me a malware warning when I went to sssfc.com, but no warning on aim.org.

Since I also run Avira Browser Safety, I went into Chrome and unchecked the “Protect me from bad websites” box. No popups since.
